Thomas Aquinas’ Commentary on the Book of Job.

Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) [Sankt Thomas av Aquino] was an Italian Dominican friar, Catholic priest, and Doctor of the Church. He was an immensely influential philosopher, theologian, and jurist in the tradition of scholasticism, within which he is also known as the Doctor Angelicus and the Doctor Communis. The English philosopher Anthony Kenny considers Thomas to be "one of the dozen greatest philosophers of the western world".
