Book description
Imagine hearing a scholar, not just explain Thomas Aquinas, but actually bring him to life-right in your ear. That's the magic of Oliver Keenan's Why Aquinas Matters Now, especially as an audiobook. Forget dusty textbooks; Keenan makes a 13th-century monk feel urgently, beautifully relevant to our chaotic world. He calls Aquinas a "reluctant revolutionary," not some distant saint, but a thinker wrestling with war, poverty, and division-sound familiar?
What's brilliant here is Keenan's voice. You can hear his passion as he dismantles the myth that Aquinas was just a medieval "fixer." Nope. He was a poet-scholar who saw philosophy as a tool for community, justice, and peace-all while living through a time that felt as fractured as ours. Keenan doesn't just summarize Aquinas; he shows how his ideas offer a lifeline: a way to navigate alienation without violence, to rebuild connection through honest talk. And listening to this? It's like having a wise friend walk you through it, slowly, thoughtfully, over coffee.
The audiobook format is perfect. Complex ideas-like Aquinas' belief that reason and faith aren't enemies but partners-unfold naturally in the spoken word. You don't feel lectured; you feel invited into a conversation. Keenan, who's spent decades living with Aquinas' work, pours that depth into his delivery. You hear his respect, his urgency, even his quiet awe. And he never loses sight of why this matters now: Aquinas didn't have all the answers, but he taught us how to ask better ones.
This isn't just for philosophy buffs. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by today's noise-by politics, loneliness, or the sheer weight of being human-Keenan shows you how Aquinas' focus on friendship, community, and non-violent dialogue isn't old-fashioned. It's revolutionary. You'll finish this audiobook feeling less alone in the chaos, reminded that kindness and clarity aren't passive; they're radical acts.
So yes, Aquinas matters now. And Keenan's voice, warm and clear as a bell, makes you feel it in your bones. This isn't just a book about the past. It's a compass for the present, whispered just right for your ears. Listen. You'll be glad you did.
