PENGUIN CLASSICS : SELECTED WRITINGS PB B FORMAT – THOMAS AQUINAS

In his reflections on Christianity, Saint Thomas Aquinas forged a unique synthesis of ancient philosophy and medieval theology. Preoccupied with the relationship between faith and reason, he was influenced both by Aristotle s rational world view and by the powerful belief that wisdom and truth can ultimately only be reached through divine revelation. Thomas s writings, which contain highly influential statements of fundamental Christian doctrine, as well as observations on topics as diverse as political science, anti-Semitism and heresy, demonstrate the great range of his intellect and place him firmly among the greatest medieval philosophers.
