The very rich hours of Jaques Maritain A spiritual life WRITTEN BY Ralph McInerny PUBLISHED BY University of Notre Dame Press, 2004, ISBN: 0268043590, Softcover, pp. 235, $36.64 CAN
The first half of this book deals chiefly with the story of Maritain's life, and the second half chiefly with his writings. McInerny is the director of the Maritain Centre at the University of Notre Dame, and writes here not only as well informed about his subject but also with a great respect for him. Maritain, along with Etienne Gilson, was the leading advocate of the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas in the Thomistic revival of the twentieth century.
