The Wayfarer's End follows the human person's journey to union with
God in the theologies of Saint Bonaventure and Saint Thomas
Aquinas. It argues that these seminal thinkers of the 13th Century
emphasize scriptural notions of divine rewards as ordering
principles for the graced movement of human viators to eternal
life. Divine rewards emerge as a fundamental category through the
study's emphasis on Thomas and Bonaventure as scriptural
commentators and preachers whose work in sacra pagina structures
the content of their sacra doctrina. Shawn Colberg places
Bonaventure's and Aquinas's scriptural, dogmatic, and polemical
works into conversation and illumines their mutually edifying
depictions of the way to eternal life. Looking to the journey
itself, The Wayfarer's End demonstrates a nuanced understanding of
the roles played by God and human beings in the movement to full
beatitude. To that end, it explores the relationships between grace
and human nature, the effects of sin on the human person, the vital
themes of predestination, conversion, perseverance, and the place
of "reward-worthy" human action within the overall movement toward
union with God. While St. Bonaventure and St. Thomas both stress
the priority of grace and divine action for the journey, the study
also illustrates their distinct frameworks for human action,
unpacking Bonaventure's preference for the language of acceptatio
versus Thomas's emphasis on ordinatio. This difference inflects
their language of rewards, their exposition of scripture, and the
scope of free human action in the movement to union with God. This
study places the two most seminal theologians of the 13th Century
into conversation on central and enduring topics of Christian life.
Such a comparative study has been sorely lacking in the field of
studies on Aquinas and Bonaventure. It offers insight to those
interested in high scholastic thought, Franciscan and Dominican
understandings of human salvation, and Thomist and Franciscan
theology as it pertains to questions of the Reformation, including
biblical exegesis on justification and sanctification. Above all,
the study appreciates and foregrounds the richness of Bonaventure's
and Aquinas's vocations: mendicant theologians concerned to share
the fruits of contemplation with fellow friars and others seeking
the goal of the wayfarer's end.
