Summa Theologiae: A Concise Translation

Information on Summa Theologiae from the publisher:

In recent years, increased interest in medieval studies and Catholic theology have revealed St. Thomas as more than just quasi-official theologian to the Roman Catholic church, confirming his stature as one of the greatest thinkers the West has ever known. In his masterwork, the Summa, he synthesises Aristotelian concepts on the nature of the living world and man, with Biblical teaching on God's loving purpose in creating them.

Description of Thomas Aquinas, author of Summa Theologiae:

(PUBChristian Classics)Aquinas's synthesis of the Bible, Augustine, and Aristotle is one of the greatest intellectual feats in the history of the church. Although Aquinas's learning and logic are awesome, McDermott has managed to capture all in modern readable prose and faithfully pare the essence to one-sixth its original length! 651 pages, softcover.
