"The best comprehensive exposition of Aquinas's thought available."--A.P. Martinich, University of Texas at Austin"An exceptionally well produced introduction to Aquinas....Successfully links Aquinas to the great philosophical tradition and makes an excellent reader for a course in the history of philosophy."--William N. Zulch, Holy Family College"Clearly presents Aquinas' thought in an accurate yet accessible manner."--Peter Gathje, Kalamazoo College"A superb study: lucid, with a simplicity that is a marvel to behold. This is the best introduction to Thomas that I know of."--J. William Harmless, SJ, Spring Hill College"This is a first-rate synthetic treatment of Aquinas's thought according to its religious themes. Excellent for use in either philosophy of religion, Christian thought, or historical theology classes."--Donald G. Schley, University of Colorado, 'The book is an intellectually serious yet very accessible introduction to Aquinas which will be useful for undergraduates and still offer scholars much to think about and argue with ... Davies's lucid and straightforward exposition of Aquinas' views seems to dissolve many problems.'John Jenkins, Journal of Theological Studies, Vol. 44, No. 1, April 1993, 'a well-balanced exposition that takes the positive and negative sides in Aquinas' thought with equal seriousness ... The book is likely to establish itself quickly as a standard reference work.'David Brown, University of Durham, Theology, 'While based on a wide scholarly bibliography, the approach is refreshingly straightforward ... the student, the scholar, the preacher and the general reader alike will find in it fresh perspectives on the intellectual and pastoral concerns of the great Dominican.'

The book is thorough and economical.'Choice Nov'92, 'This book is a remarkable achievement. It brings alive a man about whose life we really know very little beyond the bare bones of his movements; and makes accessible a body of thought and writing which can seem forbidding to the modern reader.' New Blackfriars, May 1992, 'beautifully produced ... a clear and reliable work of reference for anyone who seeks a serious introduction to the thought of Thomas Aquinas.' Times Higher Education Supplement, 'Like his master he balances the counterweighted demands of analysis and synthesis, of philosophy and theology, of history and science. In short, this book is the best of its type in English ... The Thought of Thomas Aquinas will be hailed as a great tribute to his master's genius.'Gregorianum, Vol 75 (1994), "The best comprehensive exposition of Aquinas's thought available."--A.P.

Schley,University of Colorado, 'Brian Davies's book is at once timely and most welcome ... he is particularly well placed to offer an authoritative account of Aquinas's thought to an English speaking audience. This volume is aimed more at the general reader, who will appreciate accuracy and a clear overview of what is goingon. Davies writes in a style which is clear, readable, and free of unnecessary jargon. He illustrates the more difficult points simply and helpfully. His readings of Aquinas are a distillation of contemporary scholarship, accurate and well-controlled. The book is an excellent introduction to thesaint, philosopher and theologian who founded the great tradition of Dominican theology.' Gerard J. Hughes SJ, The Month, June 1992

Synopsis
The works of Thomas Aquinas, one of the greatest Western philosophers as well as theologians of the Christian Church, are not only illuminating (for his questions as much as his answers) but surprisingly relevant to our concerns today. This book represents a long overdue modern comprehensive presentation of the total thought of Aquinas. While traditional studies of Aquinas invariably deal with either his philosophy or his theology, Davies introduces the full range of Aquinas's thinking, relating it to writers earlier and later than Aquinas himself. The book will be of considerable interest to professional theologians and philosophers, as well as to those with particular interest in medieval thinking. It is designed to be accessible to the general reader who has no specialist knowledge of medieval thought or professional training in philosophy or theology., Thomas Aquinas was one of the greatest Western philosphers and one of the greatest theologians of the Christian church. In this book we at last have a modern, comprehensive presentation of the total thought of Aquinas. Books on Aquinas invariably deal with either his philosophy or his theology. But Aquinas himself made no arbitrary division between his philosophical and his theological thought, and this book allows readers to see him as a whole. It introduces the full range of Aquinas' thinking; and it relates his thinking to writers both earlier and later than Aquinas himself.
