St. Thomas Aquinas
St. Thomas Aquinas enables the reader to appreciate both Thomas's continuity with earlier thought and his creative independence. After a useful account of the life and work of St. Thomas, McInerny shows how the thoughts of Aristotle, Boethius, and Augustine and Pseudo-Dionysius were assimilated into the personal wisdom of St. Thomas. He also offers a helpful study of the distinctive features of Aquinas's Christian theology.
Ralph McInerny was Michael P. Grace Professor of Medieval Studies, Professor of Philosophy, and Director of the Jacques Maritain Center at the University of Notre Dame. He is the author of numerous works in philosophy, literature, and journalism, including The Very Rich Hours of Jacques Maritain and Characters in Search of Their Author, both published by the University of Notre Dame Press.
