Francis of Assisi as Artist of the Spiritual Life applies modern
psychological understanding to a historical person. While most such
studies have sought a comprehensive personality profile, this work
focuses on one aspect - Francis' imagination - and seeks greater
insight into the imaginatively inspired spiritual vision of St.
Francis. An analysis of Francis' writings builds on a survey of
modern views of the imagination and the approach of ORT, or Object
Relations Theory. ORT, with its contention that the imaginative
creation of an infant's world develops out of the earliest
interactions with the maternal caregiver, highlights the way
Francis formed his way of visualizing the reality around him. While
any study of a person 800 years in the grave is more dependent on
what is plausible than on what is determinable, this study finds
numerous examples where Francis' writings display an adept use of
imagination and even encourages others in that use in a manner that
corresponds to an ORT perspective on tutoring the imagination.
