About Aquinas
The Summa Theologica is over 3.5 million words. Reconciled Aristotle with Christian theology, which was revolutionary at the time. His five proofs for the existence of God are still debated. Called the Dumb Ox by classmates due to his quiet manner. His teacher Albertus Magnus said the lowing of this dumb ox will be heard around the world.
