Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of the Creatures: A Modern Spiritual Path

Francis’ love of the natural world and its creatures has inspired generations. His Canticle of the Creatures explores the organic relationships between the elements as an expression of the Divine. In their profound exploration of this hymn to the universe, the authors examine the brief but fascinating life of Francis and show how The Canticle of the Creatures can be used as a spiritual tool in today’s meditative practices. They also look at the canticle and its relationship to the spiritual hierarchies described by Dionysius; the ninefold path; the sublime music of Bach and Beethoven; the work of Rudolf Steiner; and Kabbalah.

About the Author

Paul Marshall Allen (1913–1998) was an authority on the life and work of Rudolf Steiner and, as the “first American-born anthroposophic lecturer,” was a leading pioneer of Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual science across North America. He edited and wrote introductions for numerous books on Anthroposophy and spiritual wisdom, including his classic work, A Christian Rosenkreutz Anthology (1968), and wrote Vladimir Soloviev: Russian Mystic (1968). With his wife Joan deRis Allen, Paul coauthored Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of the Creatures (1996); Fingal’s Cave, the Poems of Ossian, and Celtic Christianity (1999); and The Time Is at Hand! (1995).
