Praise for Thomas Aquinas

“Robert Barron has a genius for identifying and articulating the human sources for our intellectual inquiry, and here that of Thomas Aquinas, and how his rich talents were transformed by a vibrant life of faith. Anyone introduced to Thomas in a way that missed his mind and heart will find here a fresh appreciation of his teaching as well as his inner life.”

—David Burrell, CSC, Theodore M. Hesburgh Professor Emeritus in Philosophy and Theology, University of Notre Dame

“Bishop Barron does a beautiful job of making the writings of Aquinas come alive for today.”

—The Catechist’s Connection

“Barron leads the reader beyond the technical theological language to the spiritual experience underpinning Thomas’ writing.”

—Review for Religious

“Spirituality with spine. . . . Barron’s solid and accessible study is itself a fine example of what he admires in his master.”

—Michael Downey, America

“A valuable and successful attempt to represent Aquinas in a refreshing and original manner as one of the Christian tradition’s great spiritual masters.”
