Brill Franciscan Learning, Preaching and Mission c. 1220-1650: Cum scientia sit donum Dei, armatura ad defendendam sanctam Fidem catholicam…: 10 (The Medieval Franciscans, 10)

In this volume, Bert Roest discusses many issues pertaining to the organization of learning in the Franciscan order, and the ways in which this order engaged in pastoral and missionary activities in confrontation with the rise of Protestantism. Review "In engaging with his earlier scholarship -- including some of the critical responses to it--Roest has once again significantly expanded our understanding of the place of learning in the Franciscan tradition over time, as well as the place of the Franciscan tradition in European Scholasticism." Megan Armstrong, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. LXIX, No. 1 "The eight articles published in this important volume trace the history of Franciscan education over five centuries and explore the activities of the order's missionaries in the early modern period. [...] The volume is an excellent contribution to an important series." Jens Röhrkasten, University of Birmingham, in: Journal of Ecclesiastical History, 69 (2018), pp. 141-142.
