Title: A classical writer tackles a classical saint...
Review: G.K. Chesterton is one of my favorite writers. St. Thomas Aquinas is one of my favorite saints. So how could I not love this book?What is nice about this book is that it is easy to read. Most books on St. Thomas Aquinas tend to go deep into St. Thomas' theology. This book, however, offers a fun biography of the saint, touching upon Aquinas' genius and explaining the controversies in which he engaged. G.K. Chesterton, ever the gifted story teller, recounts many of the interesting incidents Aquinas faced in his life, answering many of the questions we might have about him. For example, how did Aquinas, considered the greatest theologian the Catholic Church has ever produced, get the knick-name "the Dumb Ox."Chesterton knows, and Chesterton tells, holding the reader in suspense as he builds up the story. This is just one of many interesting incidents in Aquinas' life Chesterton touches upon.
