Product Description

There comes a time in the life of every Christian when he or she desires to go deeper in his or her walk with God. For many, this task can seem daunting. Enter St. Thomas Aquinas. He wrote his great Summa theologiae, or summary of theology, to fill the need for a thorough survey of Christian teaching. Unfortunately, the Summa theologiae is thousands of pages and can be intimidating to the beginner. Now Frederick Bauerschmidt has come to the rescue. Holy Teaching presents key parts of the Summa theologiae, which are explained by Bauerschmidt. These selections will encourage students, pastors, and interested laypeople to spend quality time in the company of a great Christian teacher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good footnotes, GREAT theology!, May 4, 2006
By Tim (Archdiocese of Indianapolis, Vatican City) - See all my reviews
This splendid book takes a slightly different angle than most modern compendiums. While the Summa is most often treated as a philosophical work, St. Thomas Aquinas' title itself, The Summa Theologiae (the summary of theology) shows it to be first and foremost a theological book. With this in mind, Bauerschmidt concentrates on the theological passages of the Summa, with special attention given to Aquinas' Christological understandings.

The footnotes are extremely helpful, allowing even a beginner to slowly make his/her way through this book. With the help of Bauerschmidt, even a beginner can come to understand one of the most profound thinkers in the history of mankind.

Recommended with this book is Peter Kreeft's Summa of the Summa, which deals the philosophical passages of the Summa.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful, October 27, 2009
By C. J. Skamarakas (Laurel, MD USA) - See all my reviews
A useful introduction to an abridged version of the Summa. This would be a good place to start for someone researching Aquinas or who wants to get a feel for the Summa.
