Mysticism and Intellect in Medieval Christianity and Buddhism
explores two influential intellectual and religious leaders in
Christianity and Buddhism, Bonaventure (c. 1217-74) and Chinul
(1158-1210), a Franciscan theologian and a Korean Zen master
respectively, with respect to their lifelong endeavors to integrate
the intellectual and spiritual life so as to achieve the religious
aims of their respective religious traditions. It also investigates
an associated tension between different modes of discourse relating
to the divine or the ultimate-positive (cataphatic) discourse and
negative (apophatic) discourse. Both of these modes of discourse
are closely related to different ways of understanding the
immanence and transcendence of the divine or the ultimate. Through
close studies of Bonaventure and Chinul, the book presents a unique
dialogue between Christianity and Buddhism and between West and
East.

close studies of Bonaventure and Chinul, the book presents a unique
dialogue between Christianity and Buddhism and between West and
East. In the examination of these two figures, religious traditions
are explored not only from social, political, cultural,
philosophical, and doctrinal perspectives, but also from a
perspective that integrates both intellectual and spiritual aspects
of religious life. Furthermore, the book presents unexplored models
of integrating these two aspects of religious life.

The classic and gorgeous accounts of two legendary naturalists'
journeys through summer and winter in the north country-in two new
stand-alone paperback editions When Canoe Country and Snowshoe
Country were first published, in 1938 and 1944, respectively,
readers were charmed by their enchanting portrayal of the
wilderness of northern Minnesota. Florence Page Jaques and her
husband, Francis Lee Jaques, became celebrated champions of the
Boundary Waters and its majestic environs. Now, these classic books
are both back in print as paperback editions. A well-traveled New
York sophisticate, Florence Page Jaques fell in love with northern
Minnesota during her first trips to the region, and she recounted
those early experiences in Canoe Country and Snowshoe Country. She
writes of the excitement of traveling by foot, canoe, snowshoe, and
dogsled. Weeks of solitude canoeing through the Boundary Waters are
interrupted by encounters with the denizens of the north country.
In these two volumes, her vivid stories are matched by her famous
husband's spectacular drawings; Francis Lee Jaques captures the
delicate power of Minnesota's seasons, from the cascading falls of
summer to the frozen lakes of winter.
