Synopsis

The writings of John Paul II display contemporary relevence of truths set forth by Aquinas in the thirteenth century. This should not surprise because Aquinas's theology possesses an extraordinary appreciation of biblical revelation and the patristic witness, as well as keen metaphysical penetration. In John Paul II's creative mind, the key insights of Aquinas are extended and developed.
