Faculty News: Fr. Augustine Thompson, OP

At the recommendation of Mr. Manu Radhakrishnan in the history department of Princeton University, Wiph and Stock Publishers of Oregon has decided to republish Fr. Augustine Thompson's book Revival Preachers and Politics in Thirteenth-Century Italy, originally published by Oxford University Press and out of print since 2005. His book examines the nature of revivalistic preaching by early Dominicans and Franciscans and how it resulted in their appointment as city managers charged with reforming civic laws and constitutions to promote peacemaking and social justice.
