A novel of the Summa, a guarded mind, and the break in the design

About this book Available now

He spent his life trying to reconcile an ancient, mystical God with his relentless intellectualism. Thomas Aquinas, brilliant and guarded, turned his faith into a fortress—building a vast cathedral of logic and reason in the form of the Summa Theologica. But behind the work stood a mother whose ambitions nearly destroyed him, and a mind that had learned early that opening himself to others could be dangerous. When the divine finally broke through his careful design, Thomas discovered that some truths cannot be reasoned into submission.
