Chapters 5 and 6 clarify key concepts of the influence of Duns Scotus chapter 6, Duns Scotus’ Marian principle. Chapter 4 is on the Trinity and the Franciscan School today. Chapters 3 and 4 explain his appropriation of Bonaventure. Chapter 1 navigates the twilight of modernity chapter 2, Fr. Fehlner’s closest acquaintances were the prompt to expand the prologue and introduction, to include the Protestant Reformation and resulting changes in the cultural atmosphere, not unlike the cultural polarization of the twenty-first century, the continuity of principles from Bonaventure to Duns Scotus, Vatican II, Charles Taylor’s two-band theory of modernity, and the Franciscan Marian principle as all-inclusive.
