Synopsis
Two years before he died, St. Thomas Aquinas probably the greatest 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 those 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.

About the Author
St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was a Dominican priest and scholar. He devoted his life to comprehending Divine Revelation - through reason, contemplation, and prayer - and to living in true conformity with that Revelation. So sublime was his holiness and his wisdom that he was canonized in 1323 and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1567. Among his works are beautiful devotions (contained in The Aquinas Prayer Book) and simple expositions of the Creed, Commandments, and basic prayers (found in The Aquinas Catechism).
