Description
Book SynopsisThomas More the humanist. Sir Thomas More the statesman. Saint Thomas More the martyr. Who was Thomas More? Which characterization of him is most true? Despite these multiple images and the problems of More's true identity, Travis Curtright uncovers a continuity of interests and, through interdisciplinary contexts, presents one Thomas More.
Trade ReviewTravis Curtright sets the record straight that there is just one [More,] unified by a belief that faith and reason work together - and that both are bound together in a common social framework rooted in proper authority. St. Thomas More remains an example for Catholics who wish to be good citizens and people of faith. Curtright ably explains that the resources in More’s work are still available to contemporary Catholics."" -
National Catholic Register""Travis Curtright does a fine job fusing St. Thomas More's 'humanist credo' and 'his later polemical theology.” -
