About the Author

In the course of a brilliant career, he preached widely throughout Europe and wrote over 100 volumes. St. Thomas died in 1274, was canonized in 1323, and was proclaimed a Doctor of the Universal Church in 1567.

Praise for this book

"St. Thomas wrote that 'three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe, to know what he ought to desire, and to know what he ought to do.' The wisdom and life-changing power of this maxim will reverberate mightily in all who ponder the truths contained in The Aquinas Catechism." -- Patrick Madrid, Author, "Search and Rescue" and "Surprised by Truth" "Personal Endorsement"
"A marvelous companion and comparison document for the contemporary Church's Catechism." -- The Very Rev. Peter Stravinskas "Personal Endorsement"
