From the "America "magazine interview with Richard Rohr
Why another book on St. Francis when there is already so much on him?
Well, first of all it isn t a biography on St. Francis, and I don t really talk about him until one of the later chapters. I make that point at the beginning. My emphasis in the book is on what flowed from him, what was validated by him and then toward the end of the book I look at the source: Francis himself. Francis was not a theologian, much less a systematic theologian. But he was an intuitive genius, at least in terms of spiritual things and the gospel.
Who are you writing for?
I would say interested but sincere seekers. I don t care if they re in the church or out of the church. I would like to believe that interested but sincere seekers, probably with some degree of education, will read it. Some of the chapters are quite heavy; the one on contemplation is really central. People who haven t done a little homework in these fields will probably jump over some of these heavier chapters because it might be too much for the common reader. I worried about that a bit because I don t want to write for the elite, but neither do I want to make Francis into a lightweight as he s so often been portrayed. So I guess I m shooting at the middle.
What does the title Eager to Love mean for you?
As I began writing it, I was wondering what I would title it, and then in reading Bonaventure Bonaventure is the philosopher-theologian who takes Francis intuitive vision and makes a systematic theology and philosophy out of it is where I found it. In my reading of Bonaventure, I don t remember if he actually uses that phrase, but whatever phrase I was reading prompted that image. What Bonaventure saw in Francis and what he desired in himself was an eagerness to love. It wasn t just an intellectual head trip that the gospel for both Francis and Bonaventure was immediately oriented toward love and service in the world. And love of the world and service toward the world. So the phrase came to me and I never changed it after that. The publishers liked it and it stuck.
