Description
Aquinas' Summa Theologica (God, Part I) by David Mills Daniel is a comprehensive theological treatise that distills the main teachings of its time. Written as a manual for beginners, it presents a detailed summary of Catholic faith, covering subjects such as reason, sin, and just war. Spanning 92 pages, this paperback edition provides an in-depth exploration of philosophical concepts. The work consists of three parts, each addressing a distinct aspect of theology: the nature of God, human striving for the highest end, and Christ and the union between human and divine. Aquinas drew upon key thinkers of his era, including Aristotle, St Augustine, Dionysius, and Rabbi Moses, to inform his arguments. First published in 2006, this edition offers a concise introduction to Aquinas' most famous work, which he worked on from 1265 until his death in 1274.
