A Wealth of Aquinas’ Writings for under $8

Saturate your library with the writings of Thomas Aquinas with Verbum’s Free Book of the Month and get two more Aquinas books for less than $8.

St. Thomas Aquinas, the “teacher of the church,” is universally recognized as one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived. His writings are both clear and profound; he is a master of metaphysics and technical terminology, yet full of both theoretical and practical wisdom.

Now, during the month of July, you can add a wealth of his writings to your library, as well as scholarly insights through expert explanations, notes, and study aids.

Download The Bread of Life, or, St. Thomas Aquinas on the Adorable Sacrament of the Altar for free today. Divided into seven parts, The Bread of Life consists of 30 meditations on the beauty and mystery of the Blessed Sacrament. Henry Augustus Rawes has translated the original Latin into English and provided summaries for each meditation in the table of contents.

For $1.99, you can also get A Shorter Summa: The Most Essential Philosophical Passages of St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica. The Summa Theologica is timeless but particularly important today because of Aquinas’ synthesis of faith and reason, revelation and philosophy, and the biblical and the classical Greco-Roman heritages. This little book is designed for beginners, either for classroom use or individually. It contains the most famous and influential passages of St. Thomas’ philosophy with copious aids to understanding them.

A perfect companion to The Summa Theologica and the Shorter Summa is A Summa of the Summa: The Essential Philosophical Passages of St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica, for $5.99. This unique book combines selected essential philosophical passages from Aquinas’ Summa with footnotes and explanations by Peter Kreeft. Kreeft selected those passages from Aquinas that are intrinsically important, non-technical enough to be intelligible to modern readers, and most likely to be used in a class or by an independent reader.
