Bonaventure said that we must transfer “to the divine that which pertains to the creature.” This is no unfortunate necessity.
Rather, “God’s glory requires this transference. For, since God is greatly to be praised, lest he should ever lack praise because of the scarcity of words, Holy Scripture has taught us that the names of creatures – indefinite in number – should be transferred to God, in order that jut as every creature glorifies God, so also every name that is ascribed to creatures might glorify him, and in order that he who is so glorious that not one single name can do justice to him – for he surpasses, as it were, every name – might be glorified by all the names.”
