Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Saint Francis Xavier: Apostle of India and Japan This sketch of the life and character of the Apostle of India and Japan, closely follows the standard lives of the great missionary, that especially of Father A. Brou, S. J., the monumental "Saint Frangois Xavier," which combines in an admirable degree the qualities of romantic interest and scholarly research. To Father Brou, the writer has closely adhered, for with his predecessors, Cros and Michel, this most authoritative of all the historians of St. Francis Xavier has said all that need be known of the "giant" of the missions. But other volumes have been consulted, the "Monumenta Xaveriana," the "Life find Letters" of the Saint by Father J. H. Coleridge, S. J.; the earlier biographies, the one by Bartoli especially, which is a little given to exaggeration, still manages to thrill its readers with its epic ring; Bouhours´ life, known to English readers through Dryden; the fine sketch in dear old Alban Butler´s "Lives of the Saints"; the one in the first volume of the "Varones Ilustres de la Compania de Jesus," and Father Martindale´s review of Xavier´s career in the first section of his studies of Jesuit Saints, entitled "In God´s Army." No writer dealing with the Saints can neglect the processes of their beatification and canonization: in the case of Xavier, these have been faithfully consulted and followed. Xavier was a herald of the Cross. This book lays claim neither to originality, scholarship nor research. It asks but one privilege. No matter how narrow a circle, it would like to be the herald of the virtues of this truly great man, one of the noblest heroes and Saints of the Church of God.
