Description

Torrell approaches Aquinas as a theologian, and he attaches special value to St Thomas as a 'contemporary' Christian thinker. This book is not aimed in the first place at scholars. It is aimed at the general reading public and at students - students of philosophy, theology, political and social thought. Drawing on his enormous scholarship, Torrell aims to give his readers a sense of what Aquinas was up to in the Summa, his greatest achievement. And he aims to do so as a disciple - indicating the value of the Summa from a Christian perspective. There is no other book that does this. There are hefty studies of Aquinas in general and there are some brief introductory studies but nothing like Torrell's book. Anyone interested in the theology of Aquinas will welcome this book. Also, devout Christian readers will devour this book for in St Thomas they find a perfect synthesis of the ancient wisdom of the classical world (Aristotle) and Christian faith.
