This book offers a revisionary account of key epistemological
concepts and doctrines of St Thomas Aquinas, particularly his
concept of scientia (science), and proposes an interpretation of
the purpose and composition of Aquinas's most mature and
influential work, the Summa theologiae, which presents the scientia
of sacred doctrine, i.e. Christian theology. Contrary to the
standard interpretation of it as a work for neophytes in theology,
Jenkins argues that it is in fact a pedagogical work intended as
the culmination of philosophical and theological studies of very
gifted students. Jenkins considers our knowledge of the principles
of a science. He argues that rational assent to the principles of
sacred doctrine, the articles of faith, is due to the influence of
grace on one's cognitive powers, because of which one is able
immediately to apprehend these propositions as divinely revealed.
His study will be of interest to readers in philosophy, theology
and medieval studies.
