AWorkofGenius

ThegreatFrenchphilosopher,EtienneGilson,declaredthatChestertonwas oneofthedeepestthinkers whoeverexisted,writing, withoutpossiblecomparison,thebestbookever writtenaboutSt.Thomas: "Ihadspent20or30years studyingAquinasbut Chestertonputmyscholarshiptoshame.Nothing shortofgeniuscouldaccountforsuchanachievement."
