Thomas Aquinas
Theologian
Thomas Aquinas, Theologian, was born in 1225 in Roccasecca, Italy. He felt a call to the priesthood and the scholarly life of the Dominican Order. Eventually he received his doctorate while studying under St. Albert the Great. His best-known work, the Summa Theologica, addressed the philosophical and theological issues of his day, integrating a high view of Scripture as the inspired Word of God with a belief that God had also given human beings the gift of reason and logic. He was one of the most influential thinkers of the Medieval Scholastic period of history. His Christian apologetics laid a foundation upon which apologists have built through our present day.
