Thomas Aquinas: Scholar, Poet, Mystic, Saint

There is no better introduction to St. Thomas Aquinas than this classic work, which acquaints readers with the essentials of St. Thomas's remarkable life and teachings. In clear, bold strokes it demonstrates his importance as a thinker and as a saint for Catholics and all those seeking truth in the world today.

Here you will encounter the mild-mannered, unassuming thirteenthcentury friar who wrote poems so sublime they are sung in churches worldwide to this day, the mystic whose wisdom came from a direct vision of God Himself.

Betweentimes, this remarkable author and teacher explained profound philosophical and theological concepts in words so simple and arguments so clear that common men could follow them and sophisticated opponents were left no option but to agree.
