Murtra | Oct 27, 2020 | An absolutely awesome work regarding women within the whole of the church. Written by a vowed woman of the church, whose scholarly skills are well articulated here. Within these pages are some astounding and quite revealing factors regarding variant women within the church and just how they are to be understood and acknowledged.

RevelationInsight | Mar 21, 2017 | This book pretty much concludes my studies on the Trinity for the time being. I have now read Hilary's, Augustine's, Richard of St. Victor's and Bonaventure's books dedicated to the Trinity. Bonaventure's was probably the most exacting intellectually. His work largely centers around difficulties in the doctrine and addresses oppositional points. It is a really good book if one wants to know how to address just about any criticism that could be voiced against the doctrine of the Trinity. There's quite a bit of Aristotelianism in here and that doesn't always make for an overly enjoyable read -indeed, sometimes a downright tedious one. Most of the Aristotelian terminology is difficult when you are 1) not proficient in Aristotle, and 2) not aware of the issues regarding Aristotelian concepts in the middle ages. I have read a fair amount of Plato, but I have not read Aristotle; although, I am familiar with his philosophy. I am more aligned with the Platonism of the Dominican mystics than the Aristotelianism of the Franciscan philosophers. That being said, there are some philosophical concepts that would probably make Aristotle a necessary study for me in the future. But it'll have to wait till after I finish Plotinus.
As it stands, this was a good book to finish my study with. It dealt with oppositional points and that is an excellent supplement to my previous reading. Bonaventure addresses those points succinctly and astutely; and any Christian who wants to be able to handle those critical questions would do well to read this book. Be warned though, it might take some effort to really attune one's apprehension to antiquated concepts.

Erick_M | Jun 4, 2016 | The Triple Way by the great Franciscan Doctor of the Church, St. Bonaventure (1217-1274), is often called the Summa of spiritual theology, a classic which has had and continues to have great influence in the theory and cultivation of the interior life of prayer and penance. This translation with notes by Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, F.I., is prefaced by a lengthy introduction and followed by several appendices illustrating the influence of Sts. Bernard and Anselm on the Seraphic Doctor. The editor is at pains to point out the Marian character of this great work seldom treated by other studies of it.

societystf | Jul 15, 2022 | Long before Bonaventure was called "The Prince of Mystics" by Leo XIII or "The Seraphic Doctor" by John Gerson, he was known throughout the Christian world as "The Devout Teacher." Professor Ewert Cousins says in his introduction, "In the history of Western Spirituality, Bonaventure holds a central and pivotal position. The 13th century friar, professor at the University of Paris, minister general of the Franciscan Order, cardinal and advisor to popes, played a major role in the spiritual ferment of the high Middle Ages
when Islamic, Jewish and Christian spirituality were flourishing-he produced one of the richest syntheses of Christian spirituality. Although cosmic in its scope, it was distinctively Christian in its content, grounded in the doctrine of the Trinity and devotion to the humanity of Christ. Within Christianity he achieved a striking integration of Eastern and Western elements." The three works contained in this volume offer the core of his vision.
