God Is in the Details (and So Is Thomas Aquinas): How to Weaponize Aristotle for the Church and Still Be CanonizedEver wanted to read 3,000 pages of systematic theology written by a man who thought angel transportation was a valid academic subject? No? Great—this book is for you.This is not a polite introduction to Thomas Aquinas. This is a fully sarcastic, gloriously disrespectful roast of the chubbiest, holiest overachiever in Catholic history—a Dominican friar who took Aristotle’s metaphysics, added Latin, guilt, and divine purpose, and built the intellectual operating system of the Catholic Church.Inside, you’ll find:A breakdown of Aquinas’ Five Ways to Prove God Exists (spoiler: it's always God)An introduction to natural law, also known as “why everything you enjoy is probably a sin”His obsession with angel hierarchies, because theology needed a Pokémon-style ranking systemThe Summa Theologica, or what happens when you try to explain God using spreadsheet logic and footnote warfareWhy Aquinas is still being cited in modern debates about abortion, bioethics, transubstantiation, and leggingsFrom his flaming-stick celibacy defense to the fact that he nearly out-argued Augustine with a smile, Aquinas is the blueprint for theological overachievement—and this book is the spiritual field guide you didn’t know you needed.Perfect for:Recovering theology majorsCatholic guilt survivorsPhilosophy nerds who love a good roastAnyone trying to understand how Aquinas still dominates moral debates despite being very, very deadCome for the metaphysics, stay for the footnote-based moral mic drops.Thomas Aquinas: he came, he theologized, he canonized himself through sheer force of logic.
