Synopsis

The extraordinary Commentary on St. Luke's Gospel by St. Bonaventure is matched only by the equally extraordinary ability and expertise of its translator and editor, Robert Karris. This highly readable translation with its invaluable footnotes and union of medieval commentary with contemporary exegesis will appeal to Franciscans, Lucan scholars, preachers and will also allow for quiet moments of Lectio Divina.
