On Faith and Reason

By Thomas Aquinas

Book Overview

The selections included in this anthology, drawn from a variety of Aquinas' works, focus on the roles of reason and faith in philosophy and theology. Expanding on these themes are Aquinas' discussions of the nature and domain of theology; the knowledge of God and of God's attributes attainable through natural reason; the life of God, including God's will, justice, mercy, and providence; and the principal Christian mysteries treated in theology properly speaking--the Trinity and the Incarnation.

Review of "Aquinas: Faith and Reason"

My mom made me read this and I liked it a lot. The book includes selections from the much larger Summa Theologica that deal with the relationship between faith and reason. My favorite part was the discussion of the 2 levels of knowledge. The last part of the book includes a great essay from Aquinas on the beginning of John's Gospel: "In the beginning was the word...". Thanks for the opportunity to give a book review.
