It intervenes in two crucial developments in medieval Christian thought and practice: the renewal of interest in the corpus of Dionysius the Areopagite in thirteenth-century Paris and the proliferation of new forms of affective meditation focused on the passion of Christ in the later Middle Ages. Through the exemplary life and death of Francis of Assisi, Robert Glenn Davis examines how Bonaventure traces a mystical itinerary culminating in the meditant's full participation in Christ's crucifixion. For Bonaventure, Davis asserts, this death represents the becoming-body of the soul, the consummation and transformation of desire into the crucified body of Christ. 606 $aLove$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 615 0$aLove$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 676 $a241/.4 700 $aDavis$b Robert Glenn$0952065 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162743703321 996 $aThe weight of love$92152414 997 $aUNINA
