An essential work on St. Thomas and other Christian philosophers, it led him down a path of spiritual searching that would culminate with his conversion to the Catholic Church and entrance into a Trappist monastery.

Merton’s lectures or classes are with the monastery Novices & he includes them in the discussions…very enlightening & sometimes funny. Each lecture is focused on a specific topic eg the nature of God , how God is simple, imitating God, the goodness of creation etc The messages are very simple, practical and adaptable to ones everyday life regardless of one’s vocation. I went back many times to re-listen & still do and each time I get additional insights & spiritual growth.

Merton’s insights into this very short work of St. Thomas Aquinas bring out the true riches of Aquinas’ thought.
