Bram Rawlings is 13% done with Light of Faith: The Compendium of Theology (Aquinas) by St. Thomas Aquinas (1998-11-02)
“If any object is lovable so far as it is beautiful and good, as Dionysus remarks… surely God, who is the very essence of beauty and goodness, cannot be gazed at without love. Therefore perfect vision is followed by perfect love.”

Also, I need to chew more on Aquinas’s argument that divine simplicity makes possible the union of our intellect with the divine essence apart from any mediation.

Thucydides: The Reinvention of History

Bram Rawlings
Bram Rawlings is on page 50 of 257 of Thucydides: The Reinvention of History
Quoting another scholar: “Thucydides was such a remarkably objective historian that he himself has provided sufficient material for his own refutation. The news columns in Thucydides, so to speak, contradict the editorial Thucydides, and the editor himself does not always speak with the same voice.”
