It is letting the breath or Spirit of God live and breathe and work in us. And the fruits of that are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Gal 5:2223). The Word proclaimed Sunday after Sunday is inspired by God. Jesus, the incarnate Word of God, entered into our history and fully embraced our humanity.

First, it aims to make the text of the Breviloquium itself more accessible to a wider audience, including those who have had no prior introduction to the Seraphic Doctor's theology. In addition to providing substantive theological commentaries on each of the Breviloquium's seven parts, as well as the text's Prologue, essays also consider the theological and historical contexts that shaped the text with respect to both its composition and reception. Second, in so doing, this Companion to Bonaventure's short theological summa also aims to provide an introductory window into his systematic theology in a more general way, using the topics treated by the Seraphic Doctor within the Breviloquium as an entrée into key aspects of his thought, such as his Trinitarian theology, Christology, and Eschatology, as well as his teachings on creation, sin, grace, and the sacraments. The project is the fruit of an ongoing conversation between a community of emerging and established Bonaventurean scholars, who hope through it to shed light upon the historical significance and enduring theological legacy of the Breviloquium\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eProduct Details: E-Book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"The Franciscan Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30885024596047,"sku":"Link to Amazon","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0264\/6582\/8943\/products\/Bonaventure-Revisited.png?v=1571416352"},{"product_id":"called-by-casey-cole-ofm","title":"Called by Casey Cole, OFM","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Called-What-Happens-After-Saying\/dp\/1632532417\/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1572288006\u0026amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eClick Here To Purchase\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWhether you’re considering a religious vocation or simply trying to lead a Christ-centered life, Franciscan friar Casey Cole has news: Christian life doesn't end with a profession of faith or hearing of God's call.
