The Hackett edition of this classic of medieval philosophy and
mysticism--a plan of pilgrimage for the learned Franciscan wishing
to reach the apex of the mystical experience--combines the highly
regarded Boehner translation with a new introduction by Stephen
Brown focusing on St. Francis as a model of the contemplative life,
the meaning of the Itinerarium, its place in Bonaventure's mystical
theology, and the plan of the work. Boehner's Latin Notes, as well
as Latin texts from other works of Bonaventure included in the
Franciscan Institute Edition, are rendered here in English, making
this the edition of choice for the beginning student.

life of God, including God's will, justice, mercy, and providence;
and the principal Christian mysteries treated in theology properly
speaking--the Trinity and the Incarnation.

Orthodox faiths, from the original teachings of Jesus Christ to the

This second edition concentrates on various philosophers and
theologians from the medieval Arabian, Jewish, and Christian
worlds. It principally centers on authors such as Abumashar,
Saadiah Gaon and Alcuin from the eighth century and follows the
intellectual developments of the three traditions up to the
fifteenth-century Ibn Khaldun, Hasdai Crescas and Marsilio Ficino.
The spiritual journeys presuppose earlier human sources, such as
the philosophy of Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, and Porphyry and
various Stoic authors, the revealed teachings of the Jewish Law,
the Koran and the Christian Bible. The Fathers of the Church, such
as St. Augustine and Gregory the Great, provided examples of
theology in their attempts to reconcile revealed truth and man's
philosophical knowledge and deserve attention as pre-medieval
contributors to medieval intellectual life. Avicenna and Averroes,
Maimonides and Gersonides, St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Bonaventure,
stand out in the three traditions as special medieval contributors
who deserve more attention. This second edition of Historical
Dictionary of Medieval Philosophy and Theology contains a
chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive
bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced
entries on important persons, events, and concepts that shaped
medieval philosophy and theology. This book is an excellent
resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more
about medieval philosophy and theology.
The Middle Ages is often viewed as a period of low intellectual
achievement. The name itself refers to the time between the high
philosophical and literary accomplishments of the Greco-Roman world
and the technological advances that were achieved and philosophical
and theological alternatives that were formulated in the modern
world that followed. However, having produced such great
philosophers as Anselm, Peter Abelard, John Duns Scotus, William of
Ockham, Peter Lombard, and the towering Thomas Aquinas, it hardly
seems fair to label the medieval period as such. Examining the
influence of ancient Greek philosophy as well as of the Arabian and
Hebrew scholars who transmitted it, The A to Z of Medieval
Philosophy and Theology presents the philosophy of the Christian
West from the 9th to the early 17th century. This is accomplished
through a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography,
and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the
philosophers, concepts, issues, institutions, and events, making
this an important reference for the study of the progression of
human thought.
"Protestantism, Third Edition" explores the origins, customs, and
history of Protestantism, from its beginnings in the Middle Ages to
its role in todays world. Current issues, such as the development
of new religious denominations, its stance on abortion, the
ordination of gays and women, and the relationship between religion
and politics, are explored within the framework of the fundamental
moral tenets of the faith. This accessible volume also examines the
political diversity among people of the Protestant faith.

Orthodox Christianity Doctrinal disagreements between the Catholic
and Orthodox Christian churches and the dialogue between the two
