Not convinced this is an original print of the book.

Not convinced this is an original print of the book.
Right away there is a grammatical error on the rear cover. The content seems OK after reading just the first 10 pages, but couldn't shake the feeling that this is a photocopy... given the error on the back cover. Has anybody else noted this?..."not yet widely 'KNOW' or studied."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro!
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2019
Verified Purchase
Well as a lifelong protestant with a love for Christian apologetics I am a tad bit ashamed to say I never read anything about Thomas Aquinas. Needless to say I am working on becoming Catholic through RCIA and during a fun talk with my priest he recommended this book. Well what can I say- I have tons of books on order about Thomas Aquinas now... all thinks to my Priest and the author of this book Taylor Marshall.

The book itself is very clear and not in any way a dry academic text that I feared it could have been. In fact the author repeatedly uses computer analogies that really helped me understand the data presented. This is not a boring dry religious text. It's a philosophical and theological roller coaster in fifty pages. Fit for anyone raised in the solid state age.

I didn't know very much about Aquinas and found this to be an excellent introduction. The author gives you plenty of good info and teaches you the basics of who he was, how he used philosophy and theology, and the basics of his beliefs and theories. He concludes with explaining how to read Aquinas for beginners and how to make sense of the sometimes (I presume) difficult texts. He also gives a good vocab list at the end. Overall an excellent book and it was written in a very friendly, refreshing and easy to read style.

Thank you for this primer!

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and sweet
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2020

This feels like a really good primer for Aquinas. I hope to read some of his writing in the future and will then have the opportunity to reflect more adequately on the quality of this book but at face value it seems both objective and summative. The explanation of the Four Causes and the section on Angelology were high pointe for me but the book kept my interest the whole way through. There were some typos though which confused the meanings of sentences, hence -1 star.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and accessible introduction
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2020

If all you know about Aquinas is his name and that he was/is a major figure in the Catholic church and Christian theology (that's about all I knew) this is a great little intro. Easy-to-follow and well written in a non-academic style, it can be read in a couple of hours. If you're looking for a scholarly in-depth piece, this isn't it. But it is exactly what the title promises (assuming the author is a Thomist expert and knows whereof he writes).

Suitable for lay readers, not requiring previous training in logic, Latin, or philosophy. Key terms glossed at the end. I would recommend this first to someone considering a more complete introduction to Thomas. 10,000 foot view, basically.

This short book is an elucidative teaser to St Thomas’ work, very well written by Taylor Marshall, one of the main writers fighting for the restoration of tradition within the Catholic Church.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for an overall idea of Thomas Aquinas
Reviewed in Mexico on April 15, 2019

I would have liked to have included some paragraphs about moral philosophy and theology with some book suggestions. This in regard about the issue that Natural Law is not sufficient for a person to be morally good. Society lacks of morality and embraces relativism so a suggestion of the study of morality would be great for a next revision!

This is a very well written introduction to Aquinas. Can't go wrong. I bought the summa thinking I could just crack on and understand it... errrm no, this little book really helped, almost like the author knew already that you don't just pick up the summa and, "crack on"
