Summa Theologiae of Thomas Aquinas is ole of the most significant intellectual achievements of the human mind. Over the centuries it has been accepted as an incomparable synthesis of faith and reason and the greatest statement of man's knowledge of, and relation to, God. Today the Summa has reached new heights of scholarly acceptance. Now that Aquinas' thought is no longer the sole philosophy of the Roman Catholic Church and thus freed of denominational overtones, Aquinas is assuming his rightful role as a giant of Western thought. His Summa Theologiae is recognized as an intellectual landmark which knows no equal, This first volume of the Image edition includes questions 1-13 of Part One of the Summa, covering the nature of theology, whether man can reason to the existence of God, and whether the infinite God can be known and described by finite man.
