Bonaventure Itinerarium Mentis in Deum

Bonaventure Itinerarium Mentis in Deum

Course Description: One of the seminal works of mid-13th century spirituality, St Bonaventure's Itinerarium uses the springboard of the seraphic vision of St Francis as a way to understand the mind's ascent into God as a way to understand our connection to the Divine. This reading course will read as much of this approachable but profound work as we can. It should prove a rich resource for conversation.
