Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Pujo has penned a fascinating biography of one of the most proactive saints in Roman Catholic history. Rather than opting for a life of quiet contemplation, Vincent, the educated son of rural peasants, vigorously advocated for the poor, the infirm, and the imprisoned. Recognizing the enormity of his mission, he founded two religious orders: the Congregation of Priests of the Mission (the Vincentians) and the Daughters of Charity. With the assistance of his devoted followers, he organized a series of retreats, directed numerous seminaries, and established orphanages and hospices. Though Vincent's incredible spiritual and corporeal accomplishments have all been well documented, no other biographer has taken the care to place all his good works so firmly into historical context. Political turbulence, economic upheaval, religious controversy, and devastating wars plagued France during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Acknowledging the need to operate in the secular world in order to achieve his altruistic goals, Vincent was able to immerse himself completely in the drama and the politics of his time without ever forfeiting his piety and his humility.

Synopsis
Opening a bright window into the turbulent world of a renowned saint who lived during a time of great unrest, Bernard Pujo details how politics, war and Vincent's own charismatic personality served as essential elements in his construction of a vast and lasting web of charitable works.

Wonderfully detailed and Insightful Biography of St Vincent de Paul
23. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
Wonderfully detailed and insightful biography of St Vincent de Paul. Well-researched and examines the man behind the myth. The book divides Vincent's life into three sections and chapters which are in chronological order. Has a great timeline and appendix/notes (with references) at the back which gives a detailed background of the political events and important people that influenced or was associated with Vincent and his work. There is also a helpful index at the back. This is a great, enjoyable read for both scholars and those who merely wish to read for leisure as it is academically sound without being dry. Recommended for those who are interested in learning more about this great saint.

Format:Taschenbuch
The author faithfully depicts the life of this 17th century saint without omitting a few inconvenient events that took place during his youth. This is a detailed and engaging narrative of a person that lived in turbulent times and that rose above his failings to become a true credit to France and to Christendom. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Read it; you will profit from it.

Great book on the patron saint of Charity. A must read for any member of the Society of St Vincent de Paul.
Tells problably the most accurate account of Vincent that shows him through his evolving deveopment from common priest to a servant of the poor. Higly recommend
