According to Chesterton, "once Christ had
Risen, it was inevitable that Aristotle should
rise again." St. Thomas Aquinas provided
that marvelous synthesis, which could only
strengthen the believer's affirmation of the
reality and goodness of created being. 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."
