Simply Bonaventure, 2nd Edition: An Introduction to His Life, Thought, and Writing - Paperback

by Ilia Delio (Author), Olivier Clement (Preface by)

Simply Bonaventure provides an introduction to the life, thought and writings of the medieval Franciscan, Bonaventure of Bagnoregio. The majority of the work is devoted to Bonaventure's theology, which is summarized according to his own metaphysical scheme of origin (God), purpose (creation), and destiny (goal of creation). His trinitarian, Christocentric theology is highly relevant to a global world and to the postmodern Christian experience. Sr. Delio's work places his theology in the context of contemporary human experience.
