Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) was the intellectual and spiritual inspiration for the Parisian theologian Bonaventure (1217-1274). While Saint Francis provided the world with a model for peace and forgiveness through his passionate and mystical love for God, Saint Bonaventure used that model to develop a theology for the human journey into God. This book identifies the spirit and religious genius of each man and argues for the significance of their theology in today's world.
