Editorial Reviews

“In this very readable work, the philosophical contribution of Aquinas is examined. This include his studies on faith and reason as well as his famous arguments for the existence of God. … This is a really well argued case in defence of Aquinas’s philosophy of religion.” (Pravin
Thevathasan, Catholic Medical Quarterly, 2015)
