St. Anthony of Padua (1195 - 1231) was a Portuguese Catholic priest and Franciscan friar in the Franciscan Order. He was born into a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died in Padua, Italy. He was noted by his contemporaries for his powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick, he was one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history. He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1946.

From his love of scripture he put together an 8 volume set linking every major doctrine point to its corresponding Bible verse, a monumental work. This app links his material to the World English Bible, allowing the reader to easily look up each reference.
