About this video
Runtime: 38 minsLydia Schumacher discusses Bonaventure. Bonaventure was born John Fidanza in Tuscany in 1221 and was a significant Franciscan thinker of the 13th century. He joined the Franciscan order in 1243 and quickly advanced, eventually earning a doctoral degree in 1257. However, his academic career was cut short when he became Minister General of the Franciscans, tasked with reconciling internal factions and managing tensions with secular clergy. Bonaventure's major works include a commentary on Lombard's Sentences and The Mind's Journey into God, which reflect his theological and philosophical ideas, often drawing from Augustine. His unique Trinitarian theology emphasized self-giving love, influencing his views on creation and knowledge.
