More combined immense humanistic learning with an unequaled command of the legal and political traditions of Christendom  forging a profound philosophy of statesmanship and freedom. To this philosophic and cultural achievement  More added the virtues of an exemplary husband  father  and friend and the detachment and interior peace of a saint. He thus emerged from the first great crisis of modern tyranny a crisis that would claim his life as the model of a truly free man  whose conscience and character no despot can subvert. More was canonized in 1935  as Hitler was rising to power and the world needed an example of courage and skill in the face of the greatest of dangers. Thomas More: A Portrait of Courage by Dr. Gerard Wegemer reveals how More prepared himself for the challenges of his life  and how he rose to the demands placed upon him in what became one of history s most revolutionary periods. Thomas More is more important at this moment than at any moment since his death  even perhaps the great moment of his dying; but he is not quite so important as he will be in about a hundred years time.  G. K. Chesterton  1929\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666172862517,"sku":"ByrdShop_1594171688","price":34.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781594171680.jpg?v=1782421687","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/st-thomas-more-a-portrait-of-courage-9781594171680","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
