Guide to Thomas Aquinas

Description

Guide to Thomas Aquinas provides an excellent introduction to Saint Thomas Aquinas, an important saint in the Church’s history and our times. Aquinas’ understanding of the complementarity of faith and reason is needed in a world that has abandoned the concept of objective truth. Josef Pieper provides a biography of Aquinas, an overview of the 13th century he lived in, and a wonderful synthesis of his vast writings. Pieper shows how Aquinas reconciled the pragmatic thought of Aristotle with the Church, proving that realistic knowledge need not preclude belief in the spiritual realities of religion.
