Summary
St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) saw religion
as part of the natural human propensity to worship. His ability to
recognize the naturalness of this phenomenon and simultaneously to
go beyond it--to explore, for example, spiritual revelation--makes
his work as fresh and readable today as it was seven centuries ago.
This accessible new translation offers thirty-eight substantial
passages not only from the indispensable Summa Theologicae, but
from many other works, fully illustrating the breadth and
progression of Aquinas's philosophy. It is an ideal introduction to
this key figure in the philosophy of religion. -- Description
