Excerpt from Aristotle and the Christian Church: An Essay The supremacy of Aristotle in the intellectual world of nature, and that of St. Thomas in the illumination of Faith, are the two great lights of natural and supernatural truth. From the time of St. Edmund, who brought the study of Aristotle from Paris to Oxford, the tradition of study at Oxford rested on Aristotle and Faith. Now it has wandered to the world of rationalism which Aristotle and St. Thomas purified. Your book will be very useful in recalling students to the world wide philosophy of the Catholic Church.
