This book is a detailed introduction to and discussion of Thomas Aquinas's best-known and most influential work: the Summa Theologiae. After a scholarly account of Aquinas's life, the book explores his purposes in writing the Summa Theologiae and provides a detailed analysis of each of its three parts.
Following a scholarly account of Thomas Aquinas's life, Davies explores his purposes in writing the Summa Theologiae and works systematically through each of its three Parts. He also relates their contents and Aquinas's teachings to those of other works and other thinkers both theological and philosophical. The concluding chapter considers the impact Aquinas's best-known work has exerted since its first appearance, and why it is still studied today. Intended for students and general readers interested in medieval philosophy and theology, Davies's study is a solid and reflective introduction both to the Summa Theologiae and to Aquinas in general.

Brian Davies is Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University and Honorary Professor at Australian Catholic University. He published numerous on Aquinas, including Thomas Aquinas on God and Evil (OUP 2011).
