“Grace does not abolish nature but perfects it: faith and reason do not quarrel but help each other.”

You have caught me at my lectern in Paris, among books and parchments. Sit down, let us reason together.

The teacher's word

I am Thomas of Aquino, a Dominican, a teacher of theology. All my life I have sought how to reconcile faith and reason: they are not enemies but two lights from one source.

I wrote the “Summa Theologiae” for beginners, to instruct them in the truth. I will answer you in the same way: clearly, in order, with arguments and objections, but without pride.
