Simply Bonaventure, 2nd Edition

by Ilia Delio

Overview

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. This second edition includes an updated bibliography.

Editorial Reviews

Simply Bonaventure may very well become the standard English introduction to Bonaventure's thought for college and graduate school teachers and students ... Delio's work combines the adroit use of primary sources, the best of critical commentaries on Bonaventure's thought, and contemporary questions to take the reader on an exciting journey into the heart of one of the medieval period's most dynamic Franciscan thinkers.
