New Books in Catholic StudiesFrancis J. Beckwith, "Never Doubt Thomas: The Catholic Aquinas as Evangelical and Protestant" (Baylor UP, 2019)Should you care how Protestant theologians and philosophers view a man generally regarded as of interest primarily to Catholics and as a pillar of Catholic thinking?

That is what we are going to find out in this interview with Francis J. Beckwith about his 2019 book, Never Doubt Thomas: The Catholic Aq...

MonoSonicsMS.OUTPUT 040 - LegacyOpening up with a gentle ease in through some acid tinged soul rework from the mighty FFO, into some sax laden work from Cossta, the mix slowly develops a sound frequently tinged with pads and chords, delineated by some lush break-beat underpinning from Aeroymin. The mix never becomes euphoric but holds fairly constant but measured pressure out of the back of the restrained but punchy urban 'Right Now' track by German Brigante, possibly my fave release on this outing. Sad news that House Music lost another pioneering Forefather earlier this week... RIP Frankie K.
