About this Book
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.
Some 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.”
Joseph P. Chinnici, OFM
Professor of Church History, Franciscan School of Theology, Graduate Theological
Union, Berkeley, CA
“Ilia Delio
has provided a long needed introduction to Bonaventure’s thought. But
she has done more than merely open the door to Bonaventure’s world.
Because of the depth of her own mature scholarly and spiritual insight, her
book can enrich not only beginners but seasoned Bonaventure scholars as well.”
Ewert Cousins
Editor and Translator of the Bonaventure volume in The Classics of Western
Spirituality
“This fine
book is deeply rooted in the very best scholarship yet presented in a gentle
spirit and un-intimidating style. Those who study it carefully will gain not
only a renewed appreciation of a truly great theologian and saint, but also
an admiration for the loving way in which Delio has treated his spiritual
vision. I strongly recommend this work to anyone interested in the very best
spiritual writing.”
John F. Haught, Professor of Theology, Georgetown University
