The Summa Theologica, St. Thomas Aquinas's brilliant synthesis of Christian thought, has had a decisive and permanent impact on philosophy and religion since the thirteenth century. This distinguished edition maintains the complete original content while featuring an enhanced, contemporary layout—with restructured tables and modern typography—improving readability and resonating with today's audience.
As the title indicates, it is a summing up of all that can be known about God and humanity's relations with God. This comprehensive five-volume collection encompasses 38 tracts, 631 questions, approximately 3,000 articles, and 10,000 objections with corresponding answers. Initially translated into English by Dominican Province Fathers and published in 1911, the work underwent revisions for the London edition in 1920 and the American edition in 1947. This elegant Christian Classics presentation features a modernized design while faithfully reproducing the authoritative 1947 Benziger Brothers edition.
