Reviews

[T]he book is a river of thought...I commend this fine work to both light and serious readers.
*The Tablet*

McCabe's genuis was for explaining. For the reader new to Aquinas, this makes for an accessible introduction. He does not shy away from technical vocabulary but explains it clearly, translating the key Latin terms with imagination and insight... For anyone interested in Thomas Aquinas, this is the book of the year.
