| book description |

The life and times of the most important theological work of medieval Christendom Thomas Aquinasâ€™s Summa theologiae holds a unique place in Western religion and philosophy. Written between 1266 and 1273, it was conceived by Aquinas as an instructional guide for teachers and novices and a compendium of all the approved teachings of the Catholic Church. It synthesizes an astonishing range of scholarship, covering hundreds of topics and containing more than a million and a half wordsâ€”and was still unfinished at the time of Aquinasâ€™s death. Bernard McGinn, one of todayâ€™s most acclaimed scholars of medieval Christianity, traces the remarkable life of this iconic work, examining Aquinasâ€™s reasons for writing it, its subject matter, and the novel way he organized it. McGinn looks at the influence of Aquinasâ€™s masterpiece on such giants of medieval Christendom as Meister Eckhart, its ridicule during the Enlightenment, the role of the Summa in the postâ€“Vatican II church, and the bookâ€™s enduring relevance today.
