This systematic work of philosophy and theology was collaboratively written mostly between 1236 and 1245 by the founding members of the Franciscan school, such as Alexander of Hales and John of La Rochelle, who worked at the recently founded University of Paris. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eModern scholarship has often dismissed this early Franciscan intellectual tradition as unoriginal, merely systematizing the Augustinian tradition in light of the rediscovery of Aristotle, paving the way for truly revolutionary figures like John Duns Scotus. But as the selections in this reader show, it was this earlier generation that initiated this break with precedent. The compilers of the \u003ci\u003eSumma Halensis\u003c\/i\u003e first articulated many positions that eventually become closely associated with the Franciscan tradition on issues like the nature of God, the proof for God's existence, free will, the transcendentals, and Christology. This book is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the ways in which medieval thinkers employed philosophical concepts in a theological context as well as the evolution of Franciscan thought and its legacy to modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Reader in Early Franciscan Theology\u003c\/i\u003e is available from the publisher on an open-access basis.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOleg Bychkov (Edited By) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eOleg Bychkov \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Theology at Saint Bonaventure University, New York.
