Description
HOLINESS OF LIFE
SAINT BONAVENTURE
Publisher: Available in Kindle E-Book:
ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-260-3
The great Franciscan Doctor of the Church St. Bonaventure composed "Holiness of Life" as a manual for the Poor Clares. Writing clearly, practically, and movingly, he outlines central themes of Christian spirituality, moving from the purgative way (self-knowledge, repentance, humility) through the illuminative way (prayer, meditation on the Passion) to arrive at last at a description of union with God, the summation of all desires. More than 200 citations and allusions to Scripture and the Fathers demonstrate Bonaventure's deep synthesis of Christian theological thought even in a short work designed to be accessible to any reader.
