Aquinas's Shorter Summa

Two years before he died, the great St Thomas Aquinas was asked by his assistant, Br Reginald, to write a simple summary of the Faith for those who lacked the time or stamina to tackle his Summa Theologica. Sadly, like the Summa itself, this shorter summa was never finished: St Thomas had completed the first part on Faith, but had only just begun the second part on Hope. What he had written, however, covers the Trinity, Creation, the Last Things and the humanity of Christ, thus offering a shorter introduction to Aquinas's theology in these areas. This edition features an index, bibliography, list of topics, and some footnotes.
