The pocket Aquinas
St. Thomas Aquinas was a man of genius living at a time when Western intellectualism and education reached a peak in the first flowing of the great universities. He is considered today a model of what the open-minded student may achieve in rethinking the problems of reality, knowledge, and human life with the aid of what is best in contemporary science and learning. The Pocket Aquinas is a representative collection of his ideas as they are expressed in the monumental Summa of Theology and others of his greatest works. This volume has been edited, and contains Introductions, by Vernon J. Bourke.
