A Man to Heal Differences: Essays and Talks on St. Frances de Sales

No scholar has done more than the late Elisabeth C. Stopp to make St. Francis de Sales known, understood, and appreciated in the English-speaking world in the 20th century. This volume collects ten talks and essays by Dr. Stopp delivered or published over the past thirty years. These pieces focus on De Sales' education at the Jesuit College de Clermont in Paris, attitudes to friendship, literary art, ecumenism, reception in Anglican England, and links with other major figures of the Christian tradition, such as Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Avila, and Cardinal Newman.
