The Syrian Civil War: The Resilience of Civil Society [Audio]

The teaching of Thomas Aquinas is based in common-sense, accessible to all, and yet open to the highest truths about God and creation. It is also a teaching uniquely able to resolve modern conundrums regarding faith and reason, science and religion, morality and the public square. This presentation seeks to make Aquinas’ insight accessible to new comers and to suggest its timeliness to the initiated.
