Synopsis: St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio's The Soul's Journey into
God is a masterpiece of thirteenth-century Scholasticism.
Unfortunately no comprehensive analysis of Bonaventure's seminal
treatise exists that is accessible to contemporary audiences.
Reinvigorating the medieval tradition of critical commentary for
the twenty-first century, Peter Dillard's A Way into Scholasticism:
A Companion to St. Bonaventure's The Soul's Journey into God
introduces readers to basic Scholastic concepts and arguments by
expounding and evaluating Bonaventure's speculative system. Dillard
also highlights the relevance of Bonaventure's thought for
contemporary philosophical theology. The book will appeal to a wide
audience including seminarians, clergy, brothers and sisters of
religious orders, students at the advanced undergraduate or
graduate levels, professional scholars, and anyone seeking a better
understanding of the Scholastic intellectual tradition.
Endorsement: "This is a powerful reading and appreciation of
Bonaventure's most famous work, The Soul's Journey into God . . .
In spare, precise, and occasionally elegant prose, Dillard brings a
contemporary mentality to bear on Bonaventure's project and every
step involved in the progress through six stages of spiritual
growth leading to the possibility of mystical contemplation or
ecstasy . . . This would be an excellent text for those needing an
introduction to Scholasticism as well as for those who feel they
have nothing left to learn from Scholasticism." -Patrick Madigan
The Heythrop Journal Author Biography: Peter S. Dillard is the
author of Heidegger and Philosophical Atheology: A Neo-Scholastic
Critique (2008) and The Truth about Mary: A Theological and
Philosophical Evaluation of the Proposed Fifth Marian Dogma (2009).
