About this title

Review:

"As everyone has already said, these volumes are beautifully done! The text, the binding, and the contents are all impeccable. The binding is what I would call a leatherette because it has a textured leather appearance. The cover and spine are decorated and titled in gold gilt. The text block is sewn in signatures, and is how books USED TO BE done. They should hopefully have a very long shelf life." - Amazon Review

About the Author:

An intellectual giant of the 13th century, Thomas Aquinas is best known for the clarity of thought in his philosophical and theological writings. His primary occupation at the University of Paris was as a theologian and a commentator on Sacred Scripture, and his philosophical work was always at the service of his Scriptural meditations. The writings of Thomas Aquinas remain widely influential to this day. "In his thinking, the demands of reason and the power of faith found the most elevated synthesis ever attained by human thought." (John Paul II, Fides et Ratio)
