For Bonaventure the theological virtues are the engine of the Christian life itself. Through them we recover the fullness of our humanity and participate in the universal Christian vocation of carrying the world back to God in prayer and loving action. J Isaac Goff and J. A. Wayne Hellmann, OFM Conv offer us the first English translation of Bonaventure's extensive treatment of the theological virtues in his Sentences commentary. This wonderful volume is essential reading for students and teachers alike: in it St. Bonaventure's theological genius, humble piety, and pastoral warmth are on full display, as is his Franciscan heart.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eWilliam Crozier, Duns Scotus Assistant Professor, University of Durham\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e--------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003e\"It has been difficult to teach the full scope of Bonaventure's \u003ci\u003ecorpus \u003c\/i\u003eto undergraduates, seminarians, and advanced graduate students - due to the difficulty of relying on Latin texts. This present volume will be eye-opening to many students and scholars trained in Thomistic virtue ethics. Along with other translations published by Franciscan Institute, this volume will richly transform the theological landscape.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eMatthew Levering, James N.

Significantly, the theological virtues play a key role in Bonaventure's thought-world, as they appear throughout his corpus. Having a translation of his systematic treatment of these virtues is thus of paramount importance. This translation will make the theology of the Seraphic Doctor more accessible to students and scholars alike.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"\u003eThomas A.
