About this audiobook

Thomas Aquinas, the towering figure of medieval philosophy and theology, shaped Christian thought with his synthesis of faith and reason. Born in 1225 in Italy, Aquinas joined the Dominican Order and became a leading scholar of the Catholic Church. This biography explores his monumental contributions, including Summa Theologica, where he integrated Aristotelian philosophy with Christian theology, forming the cornerstone of Scholasticism. Aquinas’ rational arguments for the existence of God and his exploration of natural law remain foundational to theological and ethical studies. Despite resistance from some quarters during his lifetime, his canonization and recognition as a Doctor of the Church solidified his enduring legacy. This book delves into his life, works, and the historical context that shaped his profound influence on Western thought.
