The Disputed Questions on the Knowledge of Christ with a translation by Zachary Hayes is the first English translation of this text. Bonaventure's study is done in the medieval scholastic style of disputed questions and shows how he, as scholar, was at the center of what Christianity is about. Here we witness him probing part of the basic meaning of the Christian faith and of his own piety.
