De Reductione Artium Ad Theologiam

A Commentary With An Introduction And Translation By Emma Therese Healy.

Throws light on the particular renewal of the theological and philosophical tradition which Henry of Ghent brought about and elucidates various aspects of his metaphysics and epistemology ethics, and theology.

In his treatise, De Reductione Artium ad Theologiam, a work of remarkable brevity and originality of expression, St. Bonaventure deals with the relation of the finite to the infinite, of the natural to the supernatural in a way which well establishes his preeminence as a mystic, a philosopher, and a theologian. This translation and commentary brings to the modern day reader an appreciation of the return of all created things to God.
