TAN Direction St. Bonaventure Part 1: Historical Background

St. Bonaventure Part 1: Historical Background

Join TAN Publisher Conor Gallagher and Fr. Robert Nixon in this discussion on the historical background of “The Seraphic Doctor,” St. Bonaventure. St. Bonaventure was a true “Renaissance Man” – a bishop, writer, professor, and philosopher – before the Renaissance had even arrived, yet he was always grounded in the traditions of his faith. He was a close friend of the great St. Thomas Aquinas, and while both men had a special gift for teaching theology, Bonaventure’s talent and tendency toward mystical theology offered something more appealing to the everyday faithful. Discover the fascinating life of the man who chose for himself the name that means “good and fortunate journey.”
