A shortened version of Kreeft's much larger Summa of the Summa,
which in turn was a shortened version of the Summa Theologica. The
reason for the double shortening is pretty obvious: the original
runs some 4000 pages (The Summa of the Summa was just over 500.)
The Summa is certainly the greatest, most ambitious, most rational
book of theology ever written. In it, there is also much
philosophy, which is selected, excerpted, arranged, introduced, and
explained in footnotes here by Kreeft, a popular Thomist teacher
and writer. St. Thomas Aquinas is universally recognized as one of
the greatest philosophers who ever lived. His writings combine the
two fundamental ideals of philosophical writing: clarity and
profundity. He is a master of metaphysics and technical
terminology, yet so full of both theoretical and practical wisdom.
He is the master of common sense. The Summa Theologica is timeless,
but particularly important today because of his synthesis of faith
and reason, revelation and philosophy, and the Biblical and the
classical Greco-Roman heritages. This little book is designed for
beginners, either for classroom use or individually. It contains
the most famous and influential passages of St. Thomas' philosophy
with copious aids to understanding them.
