SALESIAN LITERATURE

Human Person in SFS

Studies in Salesian Spirituality


The wholeness of the human being as a person, his relationship with God, his responsibility towards the community, and his hopes and aspirations are issues of topical interest to all. The HUMAN PERSON IN ST. FRANCIS DE SALES highlights them in a Salesian perspective based on Books I and II of the ‘Treatise on the Love of God.' The coming four series of the “Studies in Salesian Spirituality" contains detailed studies and reflections on the further Books of the ‘Treatise on the Love of God'. The present volume is the first in this series. The papers contained in this volume were originally presented during the Annual Salesian Seminar of 1991.
