R. C. Sproul on Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas is generally acknowledged as one of the most influential thinkers in Christian history, but in our day many Protestant theologians (including Francis Schaeffer) are critical of St. Thomas.  RC Sproul, however, disagrees with much of the criticism.  Here are links to several mp3 files that I got from the Renewing Your Mind podcasts, in which RC "rises in defense of St. Thomas Aquinas."

Aquinas (Heroes) Pt. 1 is mainly a summary of St. Thomas's life
In Aquinas (Heroes) Pt. 2 RC discusses the issue of "separating nature and grace"
In Aquinas (2) RC discusses Aquinas and natural theology.
In Science there's more on Thomas's supposed "separation" of nature & grace.

I think you should be able to right-click on the links above and choose "Save link as" to download the mp3 file to your computer.
