- Synopsis
- Should the title of this book appear startling, the life of the sixteenth-century saint described will appear no less so. To play the fool for the love of God was the delight of St. Philip Neri. Jesting was almost native to him, and a welcome joke book, the product of an age-long Christian culture. But it was his motive that supernaturalized his jocularity. Philip Neri lived in the sixteenth century, the era of the Reformation, the Counter-reformation, the corruption of Popes and clergy, and the making of great saints.
