The Mind's Road to God: The Franciscan Vision or a Translation of St. Bonaventure's Itinerarium Mentis in Deum - Paperback

by Saint Cardinal Bonaventure (Author), James E. E. O'Mahony (Author)

2012 Reprint of Original 1937 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is one of the most distinctly Franciscan of Bonaventure's texts. It was conceived in the wilderness of Mount Alverna where St. Francis received the stigmata. This text is meant to guide a generation of Franciscan clerics through the medium of a new scientific culture, while reminding them that Franciscan life is aimed at true devotion. In this masterpiece, Bonaventure recasts Augustinian illumination along distinctly Franciscan lines.
