Sources and Resources of Feminist Theologies: Sources et Resources des Theologies Feministes Quellen Feministischer Theologien Book

Very good primer on Bonaventure's philosophy and theology. Cullen writes adeptly with clarity and depth in just under 200 pages on the thought of a great systematizer and synthesizer of ideas during the medieval period. Bonaventure displays a fecundity of ideas, dispelling reductionistic post-Enlightenment assessments and notions of the "dark ages" and, perhaps, pointing to our own modern myopia of anti-philosophies and the uninspired and unambitious specialists in philosophy who continue to beat the "tin drum" of empiricism, radical autonomy, and naturalism. The problems and issues Bonaventure grappled with as a Catholic, Franciscan, and mystic are a reminder that philosophy and theology need imagination to accompany rational rigor to see new horizons. The book may be a challenge to those not well-versed in the vocabulary and controversies of classical and medieval theology and philosophy.
