In        it the Seraphic Doctor considers, among other things, the symbolism of        the Eucharist, its connection to the imagery of the Old Testament, the        metaphysics of transubstantiation, and the efficacy of the sacrament in        the heart of the believer. The result is a treatment that in many ways        parallels the doctrine of Thomas Aquinas, yet is distinctively        Bonaventurean.                   This volume presents a translation of this discussion in its        entirety, together with the Latin text of the Quaracchi edition.        Professor Johnson’s introduction situates this text in the larger        development of medieval Eucharistic doctrine and comments extensively on        the theology of this set of questions. In addition to explaining dense        technical and linguistic issues in the text, the notes key the reader to        Bonaventure’s rich inheritance of material in the Fathers and in earlier        medieval theologians.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50473164472663,"sku":"9789042934542","price":82.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/bonaventure-on-the-eucharist-commentary-on-the-sentences-book-iv-dist-8-13-9789042934542","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
