Edward Feser
One of the most influential philosophers and theologians in the history of Western thought, St. Thomas Aquinas established the foundations for much of modern philosophy of religion, and is famous for his arguments for the existence of God. In this cogent and multifaceted introduction to the great saint's work, Edward Feser argues that one cannot fully understand Aquinas' philosophy without his theology, and vice-versa.
Covering his thoughts on the soul, natural law, metaphysics, and the interaction of faith and reason, this will prove an indispensable resource for students, experts, or the general reader.

Understanding St. Thomas Aquinas is important for anyone wishing to study the modern philosophy of religion, and this guide from Associate Professor of Philosophy at Pasadena City Colelge Edward Feser provides a balanced, thorough overview of this philosophical great. Adrian Mulraney's velvety, calming voice makes this audiobook a pleasure to listen to, and audiences will easily absorb Feser's concise yet comprehensive history. Aquinas is most famous for his arguments for the existence of God, and Feser makes clear that an understanding of Aquinas' theology is integral to grasping his philosophy.

After a brief survey of Thomas's life, Feser covers: Aristotelian metaphysics, natural theology (a brilliant presentation of the five ways of proving God's existence), philosophy of mind, and ethics. He shows how all of these positions are as valid now as ever and can be defended without recourse to divine revelation, if we keep in mind the context of Thomas's metaphysics as a whole.
The only drawback to this audiobook is the narration. The pace of reading is fine, and Mulraney's voice is not unpleasant in itself. But he mispronounces so many words: Aristotelian, Averroes, Leibniz, and many others. I found this pretty disturbing, as some of these words recur frequently.
Bottom line: it's a great book and well worth the download, but don't teach yourself pronunciation from this reader. Hopefully we will see more of Feser on Audible. He's really that good.
Excellent book marred by faulty pronunciation

So I went from having a disappointing experience reading the Shorter Summa to now feeling inspired to read the unabridged Summa Theologica and being optimistic that it will be an enlightening experience.
Never thought I’d come to appreciate Aquinas
