Description

Born amidst the Black Death, Saint Vincent Ferrer is deemed one of the most famous preachers of medieval Europe. A constant traveler, Ferrer traversed Europe, preaching of the apocalypse's imminence, converting Jews and Muslims to Christianity, and working for moral reform. This study reassesses Ferrer's motives, controversial methods, and impact.
