Summary

Throughout this book, I have used Bonaventure’s aesthetics to trace how the self journeys to God – a contemplative experience by which body and soul are drawn, through a graced openness to creation’s Source, into wholeness of being. Understanding Bonaventure’s broad theological and anthropological vision can help us think about the body’s role in the self’s journey where Bonaventure himself, in explicitly soteriological texts like the Collations on the Six Days and The Soul’s Journey, privileges the soul.
