Summary of G. K. Chesterton's St. Thomas Aquinas

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The contrast between the two men is clear. St. Francis was a lean and lively little man, while St. Thomas was a massive and silent figure. Francis’s life was full of plunges and scampers, while St. Thomas’s was full of contemplation and study.

#2 St. Thomas was a huge heavy bull of a man, fat and slow and quiet. He was shy, even apart from the humility of holiness, and abstracted, even apart from his occasional and carefully concealed experiences of trance or ecstasy.

#3 The saint is a medicine because he is an antidote. He will be found restoring the world to sanity by exaggerating whatever the world neglects. He will be found contradicting the most popular trends of his time.

#4 The world needs a saint, and the two saints have appealed to two generations: an age of romantics and an age of sceptics. Yet in their own age, they were doing the same work.
