The mission of Aquinas and Modern Science: A New Synthesis of Faith and Reason is precisely to invite you on a tour through the richness of Thomas's philosophy in its encounter with the sciences as we know them today.

At the heart of the Catholic faith stands a mystery, that of the "communion of saints, " in which the three states of the Church-on Earth, in Purgatory, and in Heaven-are united in sanctity and charity. In his new book, Stephen Walford invites us into this mystery from both biblical and theological perspectives so we may better understand what it means to be part of the "Mystical Body of Christ."

And it is precisely through an apprehension of the Mystery as a whole that the ultimate meaning of the Black Virgin ca...

Step by step the reader is led to the aston...
