The universe exists for the sake of joy. So believed Thomas Aquinas, Dominican polymath and one of the Church’s greatest theologians, according to US author and scholar The Reverend Dr Matthew Fox. In this zoom video, Dr Fox, a former Dominican and now Anglican priest who has spent a lifetime studying Aquinas and translating his works, speaks to Roland Ashby about his latest book The Tao of Thomas Aquinas: Fierce Wisdom for Hard Times, what Aquinas would be saying in this time of crisis, and how we should be falling in love at least three times each day with the beauty of life.
