Abstract | The Franciscan theologian and philosopher St Bonaventure of Bagnoregio uses the six wings of the seraph as an important analogical construct in his mystical work The Journey of the Mind to God. We will do the same in our modest look into his life and work, in order to illustrate how his main writings mirror the six major stages of his journey to God: brother, master, minister, pastor, biographer, and bishop. In this session we will focus on the Seraphic Doctor's legal, moral, and biographical opera as a window to his vita. |
