Vincent de Paul, the Trailblazer opens a bright window into the
turbulent world of a renowned saint who lived during a time of
great unrest. Bernard Pujo details how politics, war, and Vincent's
own charismatic personality served as essential elements in his
construction of a vast and lasting web of charitable works. Pujo
introduces readers not only to the fascinating life of Vincent de
Paul (1581-1660), but also to the cultural, political, social,
ecclesiastical, and economic life of France during the late
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Pujo's rich portrait reveals
that Vincent played an active and prominent part in shaping this
period of French history. In his quest to minister to the needs of
the poor, Vincent counseled and challenged some of the key figures
in French politics. Vincent de Paul, the Trailblazer describes
Vincent's childhood, his education, his life as a young priest, his
skills as an organizer and manager, and his commitment to serving
the physical and spiritual needs of the poor. This authoritative
biography is lively enough to interest general readers and detailed
enough to appeal to scholars of French and church history.
