| Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936) better known as G.K. Chesterton, was an English writer. He wrote on philosophy, ontology, poetry, plays, journalism, public lectures and debates, literary and art criticism, biography, Christian apologetic's, and fiction, including fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton is often referred to as the",prince of paradox.", This classic book contains the biography of Sir Thomas Aquinas, who was an Italian Dominican Priest of the Roman Catholic Church, influential philosopher and theologian of scolasticism. It makes no pretence to be anything but a popular sketch of a great historical character who ought to be more popular. Its aim will be achieved, if it leads those who have hardly even heard of St. Thomas Aquinas to read more about him. |
