دانلود کتاب St. Albert the Great

Even while he was still alive, Dominican friar Albert of Cologne was
widely called Magnus the Great. His contemporaries said St. Albert
simply knew all there was to know; he was a scientist, theologian, and
philosopher; a teacher, preacher, and negotiator; a shrewd shepherd and
an unflinching defender of the Faith. The time has come to re-discover
St. Albert's greatness, and to profit from his prodigious wisdom and
virtue as did his famous student, St. Thomas Aquinas. Author Kevin Vost
presents St. Albert's brilliant scholarly career at the height of the
Church's intellectual renewal in the thirteenth century. St. Albert was
tireless (and courageous) in his leadership and works of reform as a
Dominican provincial and diocesan bishop. Desperate popes pressed him
into diplomatic missions, hoping that Magnus might succeed in making
peace where lesser men had failed. These pages not only tell St.
Albert's story they share his lessons. Each chapter uses Albertine
teachings, and the witness of the saint's life, to instruct, edify, and
inspire us to greater holiness and more ardent love. Read St. Albert and
see why the greatest man of his age has great things to offer our age
as well.
