  • Polemical Preaching at the University of Paris: Bonaventure’S Use of Paul As a Forerunner of Francis
    POLEMICAL PREACHING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PARIS: BONAVENTURE’S USE OF PAUL AS A FORERUNNER OF FRANCIS C. Colt Anderson We have seven surviving sermons on Francis of Assisi that Bonaventure preached from 1255 through 1267 at the University of Paris. These sermons share all of the formal elements of what has come to be classified as the “thematic” or “university sermon.” While such a designation might lead one to suppress a yawn, the form of the thematic sermon grew out of the same polemical context that helped to birth scholasticism. The masters of thematic preaching would raise questions about disputed matters before turning to answer them through the use of reason and the authority of scripture. This was an effective form of preaching for the Catholic Church as it struggled to respond to the critiques of the Cathars, Waldensians, and Muslims in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Normally thematic ser­ mons were written in the context of conflict, and Bonaventure’s sermons on Francis are no exception. They reveal the mind of a brilliant polemicist who was adept at seizing his opponent’s ground and at tapping into the successful rhetorical strategies of his predecessors. If we look at Bonaventure’s peculiar use of Paul as a type of forerunner for Francis, the rhetorical quality of these sermons stand out in sharp relief. Ignatius Brady, who was a seminal scholar of early Franciscan history, pointed out some of the apologetic elements of several of these sermons and situated them in the context of the Mendicant Controversy. Because the rhetorical quality of the sermons was secondary to his purpose of establishing authenticity, Brady simply identified the way that Bonaven­ ture associated Francis with Christ, particularly in terms of his defense of the stigmata.1 Bonaventure certainly identified Francis with Christ, but he 1 Ignatius Brady, “The Authenticity of Two Sermons of St.

In accordance with Jewish tradition, 40 days after a baby is born the parents would bring an offering of doves, lamb or pigeons to the temple. Since Mary and Joseph were Jewish they were obedient to this practice. The Presentation is also the Fourth Joyful Mystery in the Rosary. On February 11th, the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes, the Church celebrates the World Day of the Sick. On this day we remember those who are seriously ill.

  • Mulier Amicta Sole: Bonaventure's Preaching on the Marian Mode of the Incarnation and Marian Mediation in His Sermons on the A
    Chapter 3 Mulier Amicta Sole: Bonaventure’s Preaching on the Marian Mode of the Incarnation and Marian Mediation in His Sermons on the Annunciation J. Isaac Goff Bonaventure’s homiletical works on Mary provide a wealth of insight into his mature and maturing views on the person and role of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and are pivotal in grasping the development of his Marian thought that began in his scholastic works.1 His vision of the ‘Woman’ is couched within, yet helps illumine, his presentation of the Trinity, Christology, Anthropology, and Sacra- mental theology, providing many key links between these different areas of his theological reflections. Together Bonaventure’s sermons on the Blessed Virgin Mary provide the general outline of what later systematic Mariologies would treat. His presentation of Mary’s role in both the order of the Incarnation and her mediatory role in the Church, especially as it relates to questions of Pneu- matology, has, arguably, not been surpassed. Bonaventure’s two sermons2 on the Annunciation, the topic of this es- say, provide a striking picture of Mary’s unique sanctity and singular agency 1 These sermons are divided according to the solemnities of the Purification, Annunciation, Assumption, and Nativity of Mary. A larger collection of twenty-four sermons on Mary were first gathered and published in 1901 in a single volume in Bonaventure, Sermones de tempore, de Sanctis, de B. Virgine Maria et de diversis, Opera Omnia, 10 vols., eds. PP. Collegii a S. Bo- naventurae (Quaracchi, 1882–1902), vol. 9, 633–721. A new critical edition of Bonaventure’s Marian discourses was published in 1993, which retains only nine of the original twenty-four sermons and adds collation 6 of Collationes de septem donis Spiritus sancti as the second sermon on the Annunciation for a total of ten.

  • POWER and ACTIVITY in EARLY MEDIEVAL PHILOSOPHY Tomas
    CHAPTER FOUR POWER AND ACTIVITY IN EARLY MEDIEVAL PHILOSOPHY Tomas Ekenberg Si enim uoluit et non potuit, infi rmus est. Si potuit et noluit, inuidus est. Augustine, De diversis quaestionibus LXXXIII Introduction Discussions about power in the early medieval period were in general provoked by certain theological concerns. It was held that the ulti- mate cause of all being and becoming is one unique, supremely good, supremely rational, and supremely powerful being. Th e world is created from absolutely nothing and is at all times sustained in its existence by God. Th e view had some attractive consequences as it ensures that the world is—ultimately, and whether we see it or not—orderly, intelligible in principle, and a good place. Th e view is however also accompanied by some very diffi cult puzzles, most notably a particularly knotty and metaphysically charged version of the problem of evil. In his Confessions, Augustine famously describes how his initial fail- ure to come to terms with Christian credos such as God’s omnipotence and omnibenevolence against the background of his own experiences of a world abundant of imperfection long held him back and delayed his conversion. Apparently, his later encounter with Platonism led to an epiphany, and a Platonist approach to the problem of evil facilitated his wholehearted embrace of the faith. Th e details of the position arrived at are not however altogether clear from a philosophical point of view, and generations of thinkers would revisit the issues involved. Discussions about power (posse, potestas, potentia) in the early medi- eval period centred primarily on questions dealing with divine power, but questions about human powers, and the notion of power in itself, 90 tomas ekenberg were prompted by questions about the origin of evil, the nature of human free will, and the relation between free will and grace.
