Despite the countless writings we have from him, Thomas never wrote much about his own life — which makes his story all the more fascinating.
From his imprisonment by his own family to his daring escape with the friars, from proving himself in Cologne to studying at the renowned University of Paris, Thomas’s journey was anything but ordinary. Now, discover how this brilliant and humble man became one of the most influential Catholic thinkers in history.
