Critic Reviews

“"These are beautiful, durable books. If you are considering studying the works of the Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas, and dabbling in the rich tradition of the Scholastics, you need to order this set. These are durably bound and printed on high quality paper. When you are not reading them, they will look great on your shelf, and when you begin to spend hours studying them, you will appreciate the layout, font, etc. Ideal for studying! Having the original Latin down the left side of the page provides you with comfort that the translation is orthodox and, if you ever wonder if there is a language issue, you can just switch over to the Latin side and translate for yourself. You are going to spend a decent sum of money no matter what set of the Summa you order, so make the best investment you can and order this set." - Amazon Review”

About the Author

An intellectual giant of the 13th century, Thomas Aquinas is best known for the clarity of thought in his philosophical and theological writings. His primary occupation at the University of Paris was as a theologian and a commentator on Sacred Scripture, and his philosophical work was always at the service of his Scriptural meditations. The writings of Thomas Aquinas remain widely influential to this day. "In his thinking, the demands of reason and the power of faith found the most elevated synthesis ever attained by human thought." (John Paul II, Fides et Ratio)
