Sintesi dell'editore
Explore the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas with Thomas Merton as your guide.
While he was a student at Columbia University, Thomas Merton stumbled upon The Spirit of Medieval Philosophy by renowned neo-Thomistic philosopher Étienne Gilson. An essential work on St. Thomas and other Christian philosophers, it led him down a path of spiritual seeking that would culminate with his conversion to the Catholic Church and entrance into a Trappist monastery.
These five talks, originally delivered by Thomas Merton to the novice monks at the Abbey of Gethsemani, focus on "The Ways of God" ("De divinis moribus"), a short work attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas. Under the guidance of Merton, you will explore the nature of God, looking at how God is simple, perfect, infinite, immutable, and one.
Merton's talks are more akin to retreat conferences than to didactic academic presentations. In these talks you will find profound reflections on the divine perfections as expressed in "The Ways of God". He applies these qualities to our own lives, looking at how God provides a powerful model for imitating the divine. Just as we are made in the image of God, so we are called to imitate the Father and thus become godlike.
Thomas Merton on St. Thomas Aquinas and "The Ways of God" is an exceptional journey through medieval philosophy and Thomistic thought. Join Thomas Merton in imitating the Divine today.

Fine for Merton Fans with Two Warnings
If you like Merton, you'll love hearing his voice. I have no comment on the contents of his lectures. Here are two problems you should be aware of, and I give this 3 starts rather than 5 for these reasons:
1. Misleading title. The De Divinis Moribus is by Pseudo-Aquinas; it was almost certainly not written by Aquinas himself, no matter how much it reflects his style of thought.
2. The Introduction by Fr. Ciorra says something false. At the end of his life, Aquinas did NOT say "Burn the Summa." He said "All I have written is like straw." These are very different. He never said the Summa was false; he never disavowed it; he just compared it to what pigs eat, and hey, what are we compared to God?

Two Thoms Up
Both of these men are worth reading. Not only does Merton interpret Aquinas with a critical intellect, but he shows a sensitive devotion to the Saint's love for God, as well. Both men we're great teachers. Pray for us, St. Thomas.

Lovely contemplative stuff to muse on!
Loved it. Good monkish humour. Good insights on Aquinas' spiritual piece (who cares if he wrote it or not: it's soaked in godliness). It's not overly heady stuff but is underpinned by essential metaphysics and more importantly shows how the attributes of God should inform our spiritual lives. But hey, it's easy enough to grasp and it's to take you into love, contemplation and the quest for more of God. A pleasant afternoon's listening! I'm an ex monk. I left the monastery, embraced the Gospel of Jesus Christ focussed in scripture- but that doesn't stop me smelling some sweet truths in the garden of Catholic spirituality where I find them. I found such flowers here.
