Selected Writings

In his reflections on Christianity, Saint Thomas Aquinas forged a unique synthesis of ancient philosophy and medieval theology.

Preoccupied with the relationship between faith and reason, he was influenced both by Aristotle's rational world view and by the powerful belief that wisdom and truth can ultimately only be reached through divine revelation. Thomas's writings, which contain highly influential statements of fundamental Christian doctrine, as well as observations on topics as diverse as political science, anti-Semitism and heresy, demonstrate the great range of his intellect and place him firmly among the greatest medieval philosophers.

Reviews

[Morrison's] prose has the diamond cut of a poet's eye, and his story is suffused with warmth and longing-he has brought [his mother] vividly to life in an outstanding work of family literature

—— Independent

Honest, funny and touching, this is a loving tribute from a son to his mother

—— Sunday Mirror

Morrison constructs the book beautifully, as always... Fine writing and expert editing...with Morrison's usual virtues of unsentimental observation and expert storytelling

—— Sunday Times

A marvellous example of what a zen-like act of sustained attention can do to honour and illuminate the ordinary... It has a universality

—— Evening Standard

A scintillating read... Not only a fine evocation of the period, but also a fascinating study of a marriage

—— GQ
