Kevin Hughes - Saint Bonaventure

from The Lumen Christi Institute · host The Lumen Christi Institute

A webinar lecture by professor Kevin Hughes (Villanova) on Saint Bonaventure, delivered May 21, 2020. Part of a spring webinar series on "Reason and Wisdom in Medieval Christian Thought." Bonaventure (d. 1274) was a pivotal figure whose complex responded effectively to the challenges of his day and inspired both theological and philosophical thought up to the present day. As a contemporary of fellow mendicant St Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure also taught at the University of Paris and formulated an original approach to the new Aristotelian thought. Later known as the Seraphic Doctor, Bonaventure fused profound theological thought with heart-felt spirituality and set out a vision of the life and charism of the recent St Francis of Assisi to provide peace-making leadership for the new Franciscan order. In this lecture, professor Kevin Hughes introduces the complex and multifaceted thought of Bonaventure.
