Welcome to Pines with Aquinas. I'm Matt Frad.

Today I want to share with you 10 books by or about St. Thomas Aquinas that I think you should read.

Welcome back to Pines with Aquinas. This is the show where you and I would usually pull up a bar stall

next to the angelic doctor to discuss theology and philosophy.

Today however I want to do something maybe a little more elementary

rather than going through one of Aquinas's articles in the sumitheology A.

I thought instead what we could do is

suggest 10 books by or about Aquinas that I think everyone who wants to

become a follower of Aquinas, a disciple of Aquinas so to speak, short read.

I've had so many people write to me through Twitter and Facebook and everywhere else

and they've said they want some episodes that are a little more elementary.

Like how do we get into Aquinas and so that's what today's episode will be about.

Now before I get underway I need to give a huge shout out to Brian McCaffrey.

Brian is one of our Protestant listeners, one of our many Protestant listeners and he's he called

up a few times and left a voicemail and just said how much he appreciated the show and he was so kind.

He actually sent me a bottle of bourbon. He wrote to me and said would it be okay and I said I think

that would be okay and so he sent me this beautiful bottle I'm holding in my hand right now.

Barrel bourbon, Cusk strength. 56.5 alcohol there you go. So Brian cheers to you mate. I really

appreciate it. It's so good to have people listening to this show who want to learn from Aquinas

who aren't necessarily Catholic. As I've said many times in the past many of us can learn from

St. Thomas Aquinas, not just Catholics. So it's awesome to have you Brian as a listener and to all

of our other Protestant or non-Catholic listeners you're very welcome. Also a new segment on Pines
