G. K. Chesterton 
St. Thomas Aquinas 

This is the original 1933 edition of G. K. Chesterton’s study of Saint Thomas Aquinas. Chesterton’s Saint Aquinas is a man of mystery. Born into a noble family, Aquinas chose the life of a humble friar. Lumbering and shy, his classmates dubbed him ‘the Dumb Ox’ – but he grew up to lead a revolution in Christian thought. Possessed of the rarest brilliance, he found the highest truth in the humblest object, and led a life of almost unparalleled genius.
