Classic work of Aquinas, complete in a single book.

The philosophical and theological works of St. Thomas Aquinas are held in universal esteem. His commentaries on Scripture and the role of Scripture in his theological works have garnered considerable attention. Yet Thomas's academic sermons delivered on Sundays and special occasions have been widely overlooked. Considering that Thomas was a Dominican, a member of the Order of Preachers, and that he held the position of Magister in Sacra Pagina at the University of Paris--wherein preaching was a required task--the oversight is remarkable. Though hundreds of medieval sermons are attributed to Thomas Aquinas, the Leonine Commission has identified only 20 as his. This book features all 20 sermons, and one whose authenticity has been debated, translated from the original Latin texts, five of which have never been published before. An introduction and notes accompany the first-ever English translation. Readers will gain insight into the way in which Thomas expressed his exegetical insights in his sermons. The sermons cover an array of topics, among them Advent, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, the Exaltation of the Cross, Mary, other saints, and ordinary Sundays. Thus, from different angles readers will have a better view of Thomas's spirituality and also of the way in which he translated his theological and spiritual thought into consequences for an authentic Christian life, the religious life, doing good to one's neighbor, and pastoral work. The Academic Sermons will fascinate readers as it presents Thomas's unique style of preaching and how he skillfully communicated the fruits of his contemplation. With this book, Thomas the preacher comes to the fore.

"Treatise on Law" is a collection of essays by Saint Thomas Aquinas, drawn from his most significant work, "Summa Theologica". The impact of Aquinas on Western law and ethics cannot be overstated. The venerated Dominican Friar and Catholic priest was an important Doctor of the Church during the 13th century and his writings on theology and philosophy have shaped church doctrine and Western political theory for centuries. Aquinas argued that all laws made by man must be measured against Divine Law, or the plan by God for humanity. Only those laws consistent with God's command to love thy neighbors as thyself and to love God above all others are truly just laws. All morality flows from this Divine Law and whether something is ethical may only be judged by its action or effect. Aquinas argued that the cardinal virtues of justice, fortitude, prudence, and temperance are ordained by God and these principles must guide all just political and legal systems. "Treatise on Law" brings together some of Aquinas' most influential ideas in one volume so that their impact on our moral and legal systems may be better understood. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

"This is the only free-standing English translation of the entire Treatise on human nature, which includes St. Thomas's account of the metaphysical status of the human soul and its relation to the human organism (Questions 75-77); the powers of the soul, especially the higher intellective powers that distinguish humans from other animals (Questions 78-89); and, those questions on human origins, the creation of the first man and first woman, and their status as being created in the image of God (Questions 90-102)."--Cover, p. 1.
