Livro st. thomas aquinas

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 Ladys 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 believers 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 Thomass 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.

The scion of a noble Italian family, Tommaso of Aquino turned his back on privilege and - to the consternation of his family - took the strict vows of a Dominican friar. G. K. Chesterton's biography views the life of this saint through the glass of the historical and revolutionary changes he brought about as one of the most influential thinkers of his day. Chesterton explores the nature of the Gothic revolution and Aquinas' place in it, contrasting him with St Francis of Assisi - a near contemporary - and finding their differences 'complementary'. St. Dominic, Albertus Magnus and St. Bonaventure all figure in the tale, with Chesterton's famed wordplay and sense of fun giving a light touch to a work that has been described by Aquinas scholar Etienne Gilson as "without comparison the best book ever written on St Thomas. Nothing short of genius can account for such an achievement."
