Chances are, if you have access to the internet and to Blue Letter Bible’s resources, you are not in a country or region where Jesus-loving Christians are arrested for apostasy. And you are likely not in danger of being persecuted violently for your faith. Last week, I was reminded of how important it […] Born in his family’s Italian castle at Roccasecca in 1225, Thomas Aquinas grew up to be a known as an unattractive and heavyset man who suffered from dropsy (edema) and had one eye that was unmistakably larger than the other.
