TU’s Aquinas conference draws more than 500 scholars
In March, the Department of Philosophy & Religion in The University of Tulsa’s Kendall College of Arts & Sciences, in conjunction with TU’s Honors College, hosted a three-day conference on the life, thought, and significance of Thomas Aquinas. The Italian Dominican theologian recognized by the Roman Catholic Church as its “Common Doctor” is the patron saint of professors and students. He translated Aristotle’s philosophy into Christian language, taught profoundly about the Christian tradition, and wrote some of the most beautiful hymns in the church’s liturgy.
