Description

Two years before he died, St. Thomas Aquinas top-of-the-line teacher the Church has ever known was asked by his assistant, Brother Reginald, to write a simple summary of the Faith of the Catholic Church for many who lacked the time or the stamina to tackle his massive Summa Theologica.

In response, the great saint quickly set down in language that non-scholars can understand his peerless insights into the major topics of theology: the Trinity, Divine Providence, the Incarnation of Christ, the Last Judgment, and much more.

Here, then, is not only St. Thomas’s concise commentary of the key elements of his thought, but a handy reference source for the essential truths of the Catholic Faith.

St. Thomas will show you:

  • Why faith is reasonable, not blind Why evil can never be as powerful as good
  • Solid arguments for Christ’s Resurrection
  • Powerful arguments for God’s existence
  • Why angels are necessary in creation
  • How Adam’s sin differed from Eve’s
  • Why Jesus descended into Hell
  • Why we will have to suffer for Adam’s sin
  • Why the truths that you’ll be able to know only through Revelation are then again rational
  • Startling details about God’s forgiveness
  • How a soul’s damnation can be compatible with God’s goodness
  • What Christians will have to take into consideration fate and chance
  • What life after resurrection will be like
  • Three ways in which God is in all things
  • Eternal life: what it is; how to are aware of it
  • How you’ll be able to know God through reason
  • Why God became man
  • Why God allows evil
  • How Jesus grew in wisdom
  • How Christ can have existed for all eternity and yet be God s Son
  • The Beatific Vision: what it truly is
  • Why God’s knowledge of the future doesn’t deny man’s free will
  • How the Holy Trinity is three distinct Persons, yet one God
  • Much more that will help you know and love God with greater understanding!
