It might be hard to overstate the affect that St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) has had on both Catholic world and the Western world as a whole during the last 750 years. Even in secular circles, Aquinas is known as one of the most important middle ages philosophers, and in many respects a harbinger of the Renaissance that commenced to flourish across European countries in the decades that used his life. His groundbreaking work, Summa Theologica, remains one of the most influential philosophical texts in history, making him a location in the pantheon alongside Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates. Aquinas had equally great an affect on Christianity as well. His philosophical works forged and set up natural theology, squaring Catholicism with reason and logic, the ideals and areas of modern thought that really took hold through the Renaissance. With his work on logic, theology, and metaphysics, as one of the Church's Doctors, Thomas Aquinas remains the Catholic Church's most significant theologian and philosopher, and he's still placed out by the Cathedral as the role model for those learning to become a Catholic priest. Catholic Legends: The Life and Legacy of St. Thomas Aquinas details the exceptional life he lived and analyzes his writings, detailing how strong and enduring his legacy has become.
