Bonaventure as an interpreter of the Bible, the sources of his approach, and its significance.
St Bonaventure lived at the same time as St Thomas Aquinas and they both taught in Paris. In 1257 he became Minister General of the Franciscans, whose ministry of preaching was spread far and wide across Europe. Bonaventure had to unite this disparate movement and provide for the education in Theology of young Franciscans emerging from the new universities of Paris, Bologna, Oxford and elsewhere.
