Saint Thomas Aquinas 1933
By Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Dieter Hattrup, Myron Henkmen, Chesterton Books
- Thomas, aquinas, saint, 1225?-1274, Criticism and interpretation, 19th century, History
" St. Thomas Aquinas is enriched by the author's unique ability to see the world through the saint's eyes, a fresh and animated view that shows us Aquinas as no other biography has. Acclaimed as the best book ever written on Aquinas by such outstanding Thomists as Jacques Maritain, Etienne Gilson, and Anton Pegis, this brilliant biography will completely capture the reader and leave him desirous of reading Aquinas' own monumental work."--Publisher description.
