"The Summa Theologica of St. Thomas Aquinas is one of, if not the, world's most renowned masterpieces. As the title indicates, is a summing up of all that can be known about God and humanity's relations with God. It is divided into three parts dealing with God, man, and the God-man respectively. It consists of 38 tracts, 631 questions, about 3000 articles, 10,000 objections and their answers. This brilliant synthesis of Christian thought has had a decisive and permanent impact on religion since the thirteenth century and has become substantially the official teaching of the Catholic Church. No library is complete without it. The present edition was translated into English by the Fathers of the Dominican Province and first appeared in 1911. A revised edition was published in London in 1920, and in America in 1947. This five-volume printing is a reproduction of the 1947 Benziger Brothers edition. "
