On Faith : Summa Theologiae, Part 2-2, Questions 1-16 of St. Thomas Aquinas

The organization of Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologiae is a remarkable feat of clarity in comparison with its predecessors. Although Aquinas incorporates materials from very different theological traditions he reduces all of these topics to a concise and clear plan. Mark D. Jordan's translation, On Faith, captures this clarity, Aquinas' most characteristic achievement. v. 1. On faith, Summa theologiae, part 2-2, questions 1-16 of St. Thomas Aquinas.

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was a Doctor of the church. He was an Italian Dominican friar and Roman Catholic priest who was an influential philosopher, theologian, and jurist in the tradition of scholasticism. Canonized in 1323 by Pope John XXII, Aquinas was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology and the father of Thomism.
