Reviews

This new comparative analysis of Cicero and Aquinas is superbly clear, accessible and cogent not only for non-specialist reading audiences but also for classical, medieval, and modern jurisprudential scholars, theologians, and academics. I have a very high level of confidence that A Comparative Analysis of Cicero and St. Thomas Aquinas: Nature and the Natural Law will be a much needed addition to the current body of scholarly writings. -- Kevin Govern, Associate Professor of Law, Ave Maria School of Law, USA

[An] excellent book that is well worth the read. The topic itself is fascinating and the learned author's familiarity with both Cicero and Aquinas is impressive ... the book is an excellent read which provides fascinating biographical information in a very reader-friendly format. * Reading Religion * This new comparative analysis of Cicero and Aquinas is superbly clear, accessible and cogent not only for non-specialist reading audiences but also for classical, medieval, and modern jurisprudential scholars, theologians, and academics.
