Saint Thomas Aquinas, Vol. 2: Spiritual Master

This volume, which completes Father Torrell's biography of Aquinas, focuses on a relatively overlooked aspect of the Dominican's theology, his spirituality. This is a highly-specialised and in-depth analysis of that side of Aquinas which not only qualified him to be one of the great intellects of the Middle Ages but also a saint. The narrative is heavily annotated and supported by extracts, in English translation, from Summa theologiae and other works by Aquinas.
