About this book
“Fr. Rick provides us with the stethoscope to pick up Saint Bonaventure’s heartbeat in a work that can help us in our own affective journey into God.” — Fr. André Cirino, OFM
Bonaventure’s Tree of Life is a meditation on the life, death and glorification of Jesus, arranged as the fruits of a tree. Fr. Rick Martignetti, OFM, opens this mystical gem for readers today.
He traces the image of the tree of life from Scripture to Bonaventure, explains Bonaventure’s threefold way of purgation, illumination and union and his “coincidence of opposites,” and then walks through the Tree of Life fruit by fruit.
“A superb entry into the heart of Bonaventure who fell in love with the Christ.” — Fr. Robert J. Karris, OFM
