Good introduction. Lays out the context for Aquinas and his times and the Medieval university milieu. Gives enough of his writing to get a good grasp of it, without overload.

This review is from: Introduction To Saint Thomas Aquinas (Paperback)

It it a good overview of Aquinas and contains good selections, but the physical book kind of bothers me. It is very 'compact', meaning that there is the spacing between lines is too small for notes and almost too small for underlining; The margins are small , so you can't write in those. Also when reading, I tend to 'get lost' and skip or reread a line because they are so compacted.
