About this listen

This is a top-quality audiobook of G. K. Chesterton's biography of St. Thomas Aquinas.

Etienne Gilson, leading scholar of Aquinas, says, "I consider it as being, without possible comparison, the best book ever written on Saint Thomas. The few readers who have spent twenty or thirty years in studying St. Thomas Aquinas, and who, perhaps, have themselves published two or three volumes on the subject, cannot fail to perceive that the so-called 'wit' of Chesterton has put their scholarship to shame."

This book begins comparing St. Thomas to St. Francis of Assisi. It then goes through the main events of his life and the basis of his philosophy which is founded in reality. Worth a read especially in 2024 as we celebrate the 750th anniversary of his death and as the world further departs from common sense and the testimony of our senses.

Main events of his life.

The book is interesting but because it’s a poem it becomes a little bit hard to follow I think it would’ve preferred a straight biography or just a book that summarised Thomas Aquinas is philosophy
