Canonized in 1323 by Pope John XXII, Aquinas was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology and the father of Thomism. Charles J. O'Neil (1909-1988) was professor of philosophy at Loyola University from 1934 to 1947, Marquette University from 1947 to 1961, and at Villanova University from 1961 to 1976. He was a Navy captain during World War II. He is author of several philosophical works and translated the Summa Contra Gentiles of St. Thomas Aquinas into English.

"The only complete summary of Christian doctrine that Thomas ever wrote, this is also a creative and even revolutionary work of Christian apologetics composed when Christian thought needed to master and assimilate the wisdom of the Greeks and Arabs." --The Tablet
