Acclaimed as the best book ever written on St. Thomas, this
outstanding profile introduces one of Christianity's most important
and influential thinkers. G. K. Chesterton chronicles the saint's
life, focusing on the man and the events that shaped him, rather
than on theology. In a concise, witty, and eminently readable
narrative, he illustrates the relevance of St. Thomas' achievements
to modern readers.
Born into an aristocratic family, Thomas rejected a life of
privilege to join a new order of preaching and teaching monks, the
Dominicans. Chesterton compares Thomas' views to those of another
famous thirteenth-century figure, St. Francis of Assisi. He also
explores the influence of Aristotelian philosophy on Thomas'
character, along with the effects of Parisian culture, society, and
politics. The final chapter examines the impact of Thomas' work on
later religious thinkers, including Martin Luther. This brief but
vivid profile provides fascinating glimpses into the medieval
scholastic movement, and it presents an excellent beginning to
further explorations of St. Thomas Aquinas' works.
