On the Jews not seeing the sublime Christ (Bonaventure)

[Reformed Covenanter]

For since they recognized his temporal generation, they negated his eternal. And since they scorned the humble Christ, they could not see the sublime Christ.

Just received a copy today of On the Reduction of the Arts to Theology (De reductione):

“…the whole of sacred Scripture teaches these three truths: namely, the eternal generation and incarnation (aetemam generationem et incamationem) of Christ, the pattern of human life, and the union of the soul with God.”
