St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis of Assisi: With Introductions by Ralph McLnerny and Joseph Pearce

Information on St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis of Assisi from the publisher:

"Here, together in a single volume, are the two biographies that many critics consider to be Chesterton's best and the best short portraits ever written of these two great saints. St. Francis of Assisi was first published in 1923, shortly after Chesterton was received into the Catholic Church. It is a profoundly Catholic work, explaining and illuminating the life of St. Francis in a way no other biography has. The spiritual kinship the author felt with his subject enables the reader to delve into insights on the character of Francis that have eluded many." St. Thomas Aquinas was written later in Chesterton's career. It also is enriched by the author's unique ability to see the world through the saint's eyes, a view that shows us Aquinas in a fresh way. Chesterton's pen brings the author of the Summa vividly to life.

Description of G. K. Chesterton, author of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Francis of Assisi:

(PUBIgnatius)If you've never bought these biographies (two of Chesterton's most enduring works), now is the time to take advantage of our low price. Not formal, meticulously researched pieces, instead they seek to capture the essence and flavor of these two giants. Written by that witty, opinionated 20th-century prince of paradox. 260 pages, softcover.
