Collected Writings of Eric Doyle, Friar Minor, Theologian
Author of St. Francis and the Song of Brotherhood and Sisterhood
and The Disciple and the Master
Eric Doyle was a man of vision. It was a
vision of Christ seen through the eyes of
St. Francis of Assisi, which vision
brought a unity and a dignity to all
creation, as well as a fraternal
connection with Christ, the first brother
of all. This same vision led Eric to his
fascination with Teilhard de Chardin on
the one hand and his interest for
“mother earth” and ecology on the
other.
In 1974 Eric’s dream to return to
Canterbury, the place where the
Franciscan story began in 1224, was
fulfilled.
Eric alerted us to the wealth of the
spiritual life, prayer, devotion,
philosophy and theology that saturate
our Franciscan heritage.
He sought for answers to contemporary
issues in ecology, liberation theology,
ecumenism and the place of women in
the Church.
On the 20th
anniversary of Eric Doyle’s
death, Josef Raischl SFO and André
Cirino OFM present a collection of his
extensive writings. This volume of more
than 600 pages includes articles on
Franciscan Spirituality, St.
Bonaventure’s and Bl. John Duns
Scotus’ theology, Teilhard de Chardin,
various theological and spiritual themes
such as the
theology of religious life or the future of
the papacy.
Throughout the text, the editors wove
biographical notes, photos and
memories of people who knew Eric.
Two of his recorded talks on CD
accompany the text. A complete
bibliography closes the collection.
