Description

Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) was the intellectual & spiritual inspiration for the Parisian theologian Bonaventure (1217-1274). While Saint Francis provided the world with a model for peace & forgiveness through his passionate & mystical love for God, Saint Bonaventure used that model to develop a theology for the human journey into God. This book identifies the spirit & religious genius of each man & argues for the significance of their theology in today's world.
