A Companion to the Summa, Volume I: The Architect of the Universe (Corresponding to the Summa Theologica 1a) (Volume I Only)

vii, 457 pp. Volume 1 only of 4 volume set. "When we go below the surface of a man's life to the spiritual depths beneath, the image of God stands out more clearly; then we begin to appreciate the servile place of the world, the inestimable dignity of man and the eternal promise which, crowning his life, dwarfs everything else in the universe. Thomas' study, in a word, is important for our times because the men of our times have learned all but the important things. His study of God, man, and the world, hard and deep as it may be, is necessary because, forgetting God, our times have not recognized men and have yet to see the world. We are learned but far from wise. This is Thomas' book of wisdom, his searching examination of the profound reasons, his handbook of the important answers."
