Product Details
Quiet Light, by the famous novelist Louis de Wohl, presents a stimulating historical novel about the great St. Thomas Aquinas. Set against the violent background of the Italy during the Crusades, Quiet Light tells the intriguing story of St. Thomas who defied his illustrious, prominent family's ambition for him to have great power in the Church by taking a vow of poverty and joining the Dominicans. The battles and Crusades of the 13th century and the ruthlessness of the excommunicated Emperor Frederick II play a big part in defied his illustrious, prominent family's ambition for him to have great power in the Church, but it is Thomas of Aquino who dominates.
Quiet Light succeeds notably in portraying the exceptional quality of St. Thomas, a fusion of mighty intellect and childlike simplicity. A pupil of St. Albert the Great, the humble Thomas led an intense life of study, writing, prayer, preaching and contemplation where Quiet Light ironically shows how God rose him to become the influential figure of his age and he later was proclaimed by the Church as the Angelic Doctor. The Quiet Light author takes us into the mind and heart of St. Thomas while simultaneously giving us an enthralling picture of the era in which he lived.
