Description
Book SynopsisThe revival of interest in Aquinas has run simultaneously with the rise of interest in Aristotle, on whose philosophy Aquinas based his own. This work brings Aquinas' thought to life and underlines the influence of Aquinas on our contemporary thought.
Trade Review[T]he book is a river of thought...I commend this fine work to both light and serious readers. -- Timothy McDermott * The Tablet *
McCabe's genuis was for explaining. For the reader new to Aquinas, this makes for an accessible introduction. He does not shy away from technical vocabulary but explains it clearly, translating the key Latin terms with imagination and insight... For anyone interested in Thomas Aquinas, this is the book of the year. -- Andrew Davison * Church Times *
