Recenzje

'Davies has offered a lucid study of Bonaventure's theology, one that is noteworthy for the elegance of its argumentation and attentiveness to the mutual intersection of a theology of the body with aesthetic concerns ... readers of Franciscan theology from a variety of disciplines and vantage points will find [this] study erudite, engaging, and provocative.' Peter Casarella, Theological Studies
