Douglas Dales's Divine Remaking marks the 800th anniversary of the
birth of St Bonaventure in 1217. Bonaventure distilled and
transformed a rich inheritance of patristic and medieval exegesis
of the Bible developed within the monastic tradition and in the
university schools in Paris, Oxford and elsewhere. While teaching
in Paris and then leading the Franciscans as their Minister
General, Bonaventure wrote a substantial commentary on the Gospel
of St Luke. This commentary is an eminent example of how his
understanding of the Bible lay at the root of all that he taught
and wrote. Bonaventure's writing style reflects the beauty and
ornate detail of contemporaneous works of art, stained glass,
carvings in cathedrals and illuminated manuscripts. His writings,
like the art of his day, are superb expressions of Christian
theology and vision. Bonaventure had a formidable memory, and his
capacity to draw from across the whole Latin Bible is
extraordinary, instructive and enriching. His well-ordered mind was
balanced, however, by a finely tuned spiritual and pastoral
intuition, which makes his approach to the Gospels applicable and
relevant to the reader of today. Divine Remaking is a bridge into
Bonaventure's thought; it allows his insight into St Luke's Gospel
to be understood by anyone seeking the divine truth in today's
world.
