Nobody can understand the greatness of the thirteenth century, who does not realize that it was a great growth of new things produced by a living thing. In that sense it was really bolder and freer than what we call the renaissance, which was a resurrection of old things discovered in a dead thing.. And the Gospel according to St. Thomas.. Was a new thrust like the titanic thrust of Gothic engineering; and its strength was in a God that makes all things new.
