(18th Century), is a practical-mystical Exposition on each Chapter of the Gospel of St. John according to the mind and writings of the Seraphic Doctor, St. Bonaventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough many commentaries on Scripture today abound with intricate analyses of the literal, linguistic, and historical sense of the Scriptures, Barbieri on the other hand, a profound Theologian and a veteran of Scholastic Speculation in the Bonaventurian-Scotist Tradition of the Franciscan Order, sets out in his commentaries to instead provide his reader with immediate subject matter for Meditation, Conversion, Penance, and Prayer, the principal purposes of the Gospel Message.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaithful to the Mystical bent of the Seraphic Doctor, Barbieri seeks to draw the reader into Prayer, moreso than into mere facts of historical knowledge. In this, he helps his readers draw out the proper fruits of the reading and study of Scripture, namely: Charity, and the amendment of one's life for the Love and Glory of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Edition is the first in our upcoming series of translations of Barbieri's Commentaries on Scripture, which will include all four Gospels, the Catholic Epistles of the New Testament, and the Apocalypse of St. John.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScripture Quotations taken from the Douay-Rheims Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roman-Seraphic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51323088044317,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0906\/3927\/0173\/files\/THUMBNAIL_1_db2d8992-c5e4-49cf-905b-10fe9867fc0a.webp?v=1779821475","url":"https:\/\/romanseraphicbooks.com\/products\/commentary-on-the-gospel-of-st-john-barbieri","provider":"Roman-Seraphic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
