Thomas Aquinas: Spiritual Master

"Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee." AugustineBarron shows how Aquinas is a guide to the happiness that can be found only in God through his incarnate Son. A much needed message in our age of self-absorption. Aquinas was indeed a spiritual master leading us to the eternal fountain of joy.

Great and easily understandable overview of Thomas Aquinas. Bishop Barron’s writing is amazing.

I am dazzled by this book. Bishop Barron unpacks Thomas Aquinas as a spiritual director. He stunninly connects the entire corpus, idea by idea, to our spiritual reality. I feel that after a lifetime of reading books that helped my searching for ultimate truth, here is a book that finds that truth for you and serves it up beautifully, clearly, completely. Thank you Bishop Barron.

Who can say enough good things of the great Medieval theologian? However, in reading I often had to stop and try to figure out what he was saying. Without being an expert in Aristotle or Scholastic thinking I was severely handicapped. What one needs is a modern day writer who is schooled in those disciplines to make sense out of Aquinas, by putting it in today's vernacular. I suggest Bishop Barron's short summary of Aquinas: Thomas Aquinas Spiritual Master.
