Francis lived, and ministered, amid a leprosy pandemic. How he lived in relation to that pandemic makes him a source of insight to as well as a potential critic of contemporary responses to COVID. In turn, one can use COVID to question Francis. Did he exhibit a harmful form of religious devotion, perhaps fanaticism, by exposing himself and others to a lethal pathogen? This edited collection examines a highly visible and impactful religious figure with the intent of bringing him into conversation with one of the defining issues of the early 21st Century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57845062336894,"sku":"NW9781804410486","price":85.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/pandemic-reflections-saint-francis-and","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
