About this title

Synopsis

A sweeping, reverent biography of Thomas Aquinas that blends sharp scholarship with spiritual insight.

This edition presents a detailed portrait of the Angelical Doctor, highlighting his outstanding intellect, generous charity, and steady devotion to truth. It traces his life, battles, and influence within the thirteenth‑century university world, while showing how his humility and governance shaped his work and the people around him. The narrative aims to illuminate both his public achievements and the inner life that guided his remarkable leadership.

• A clear account of his clash with errors in philosophy and mysticism, and how he sought to restore sound teaching.
• A portrait of his character: immense learning paired with gentleness, self‑restraint, and a longing to glorify Christ.
• Insight into his role at the university and his impact on students, professors, and clerical leaders.
• A balanced portrayal that combines biographical detail with reflections on his spiritual influence.

Ideal for readers of Catholic biography and those interested in medieval scholasticism and religious life.
