This week, La Foi prise au mot (Faith at your word )invites you to discover a high figure of the 17th century: Saint Francis de Sales. What is often said is quite brief. Born in Savoy in 1567, he became bishop of Annecy, challenged the Protestants and died after having founded the order of the Visitation. But what about the Introduction to the Devout Life, one of the best-sellers of spirituality until the 20th century? What to say about Salesian spirituality? To answer these questions we receive Hélène Michon, philosopher, lecturer at the University Francois Rabelais of Tours, author of “Saint Francis de Sales. A new mystique “at Editions du Cerf, and Thomas Gueydier who is preparing a thesis, St. Augustine in the work of François de Sales, as part of the Doctoral School of Human Sciences and Society in Tours. 21/01/2018.
