No other part of the Hebrew Scriptures, aside from the Psalter and
sections of the prophet Isaiah, captured the interest and aroused
the attention of the early Church as did the opening chapters of
the Book of Genesis. Augustine of Hippo, the early Latin Church's
profoundest scholar, devoted three treatises to these chapters. The
first two -- On Genesis: A Refutation of the Manichees and his
Unfinished Literal Commentary on Genesis -- are early works. The
third and longest -- The Literal Meaning of Genesis -- was produced
at the height of Augustine's maturity and has been ranked with his
Confessions, The Trinity, and The City of God. The range, depth and
genius of Augustine's thought, which begin to appear in the two
earlier writings, are on full display in the third. This volume
brings these three works together for the first time in English and
provides a valuable and comprehensive introduction to each one.
The Summa Theologiae ranks among the greatest documents of the
Christian Church, and is a landmark of medieval western thought. It
provides the framework for Catholic studies in systematic theology
and for a classical Christian philosophy, and is regularly
consulted by scholars of all faiths and none, across a range of
academic disciplines. This paperback reissue of the classic
Latin/English edition first published by the English Dominicans in
the 1960s and 1970s, in the wake of the Second Vatican Council, has
been undertaken in response to regular requests from readers and
librarians around the world for the entire series of 61 volumes to
be made available again. The original text is unchanged, except for
the correction of a small number of typographical errors.
