This is an introduction to the most important theological work of
the Middle Ages. In the intellectual tradition of the Christian
faith, few thinkers have had a more profound effect upon both the
nature of theology and the materials with which it deals than
Thomas Aquinas. A knowledge, therefore, of his major work, the
"Summa Theologiae", is necessary for the student of theology, let
alone any who are concerned with the Western intellectual
tradition, so pervasive is Aquinas' thought to the fabric of
Western thought. This, together with the immensity, length, and
difficulty of the Summa, make a Reader's Guide valuable, even
crucial, to a student's first exposure to this work. To address the
needs of undergraduates who attempt a reading of this work, Stephen
Loughlin presents the basic principles that underlie the "Summa
Theologiae" both as a whole and with respect to its three parts,
and the varying treatises found within them. "Continuum Reader's
Guides" are clear, concise and accessible introductions to key
texts in literature and philosophy. Each book explores the themes,
context, criticism and influence of key works, providing a
practical introduction to close reading, guiding students towards a
thorough understanding of the text. They provide an essential,
up-to-date resource, ideal for undergraduate students.
