THE MAID OF ORLEANS The Life & Mysticism of Joan of Arc by SVEN STOLPE

Description

This acclaimed work on the life and mysticism of Joan of Arc is considered by historians one of the most convincing, well researched, and best written accounts of the Maid of Orleans. Stolpe sees Joan of Arc as primarily a mystic, and her supreme achievement and significance not so much in a mission to deliver France–though important–as in her sharing in the Passion of Christ. By shifting the emphasis from the national to the universal, Stolpe brings the saint closer to the modern reader. His scholarship is informed by a profound understanding and sympathy for the maid, giving this essentially sober work the absorbing interest of a novel. Paper.
