Product Description New and revised edition of 'The Character of a Christian Leader,' originally titled 'The Six Wings of the Seraph by St. Bonaventure,' translated by Philip O'Mara. Ann Arbor, MI: Servant Books, 1978. From the translator's introduction: 'Among the shorter works attributed to St. Bonaventure is found a study of the virtues of a religious superior, The Six Wings of the Seraph, which has been used in religious communities for centuries. it has been consistently popular because of its emphasis on practical moral psychology, its brief and memorable allegory, and its happy use of abundant scriptural references. St. Bonaventure's supposed authorship also contributed to its high repute, all the more in that works on governance and the pastoral care in the religious life were few. A book on leadership for the ministers and guardians of his own Order by the Seraphic Doctor, who had himself been the Minister General, was surely to be prized; moreover its contents were general, its advice flexible and of wide application. Religious superiors of many institutes have found it helpful over the years.' Recent scholarship assigns the work to an anonymous author of the 14th century, a fact which does not take away from its contemporary value as a guide for those whose ministry it is to exercise leadership in our own times. Its character is essentially Franciscan, and it commends the virtues of discretion, brotherly love, zeal, good example, patience, and devotion. About the Author Philip F. O'Mara is an Associate Professor, Department of English, at Bridgewater College, Bridgewater VA. He received a B.A. from St. John's University, New York, and an M.A. and Ph.D. from Notre Dame University.
