"Chesterton makes one despair. I have been studying St. Thomas all
my life and I could never have written such a book." - Etienne
Gilson
"He was a Christian liberator. Like a beneficent bomb, he blew
out of the Church a quantity of stained glass of a very poor
period, and let in gusts of fresh air, in which the dead leaves of
doctrine danced with all the energy and indecorum of our Lady's
Tumbler." - Dorothy Sayers
According to Chesterton, "once Christ had Risen, it was
inevitable that Aristotle should rise again." The synthesis between
Christianity and Aristotle could only strengthen the believer's
affirmation of the reality and goodness of created being; and also
a strange kind of interconnectedness where "the study of the
humblest fact will lead to the study of the highest truth."
Chesterton reveals the marvelous clarity of Thomas's mind and
highlights "the intense rightness of his sense of the relation
between the mind and the real thing outside the mind."
This book is a splendid introduction to both Thomas the man and
the significance of his work for his own time and ours. No less a
scholarly light than Etienne Gilson remarked that "I consider it as
being without possible comparison the best book ever written on St.
Thomas. Nothing short of genius can account for such an
achievement."
