Summa Theologica (All Complete & Unabridged 3 Parts + Supplement & Appendix + interactive links and annotations) - Reconciling Faith and Reason: Insights from Summa Theologica

Thomas Aquinas

Sinopse

In his magnum opus, "Summa Theologica," Thomas Aquinas endeavors to systematize the entirety of Christian theology, presenting complex theological doctrines in a structured and accessible manner. The work is divided into three parts, addressing questions of God, ethics, and the sacraments, enriched with annotations and interactive links that enhance reader engagement. Aquinas employs a dialectical style, utilizing the Scholastic method of questioning and answering, which fosters a profound understanding of faith and reason'Äôs relationship, a hallmark of medieval scholasticism. His synthesis of Aristotelian philosophy with Christian doctrine marks a pivotal contribution to Western thought, addressing fundamental issues that resonate through subsequent theological discourse. Thomas Aquinas, a thirteenth-century philosopher and theologian, is often heralded as one of the foremost figures in Western philosophy. His formative experiences in the intellectual and spiritual milieu of the Dominican order, coupled with his engagement with the works of Aristotle, significantly influenced his theological perspectives. The "Summa Theologica" reflects Aquinas'Äôs commitment to exploring the depths of divine truth while accommodating human reason, seeking a harmonious integration of faith and intellect, earning him acclaim as a Doctor of the Church. I highly recommend "Summa Theologica" for scholars and laypersons alike, as it serves not only as a theological treatise but as an enduring guide to moral reasoning and spiritual inquiry. The interactive elements in this edition enrich the reading experience, allowing for deeper engagement with Aquinas's insights into ethics, divine law, and the nature of God. This work remains essential for anyone seeking to understand the foundations of Christian theology and its implications for contemporary faith and reason.

One final cry of terror, and suddenly her world shifted violently, until a blinding collision scattered her mind and shook her bones. Then, the pain. The freezing water. And as all sensation drifted away, a hand reached for hers before all faded into darkness. . . .  
 
In the midst of a fierce storm, a carriage carrying Sir John Mayfield, Lady Marianna Mayfield, and her lady's companion careens off a narrow cliff road, changing their fates forever. When the wreckage is found, Sir John is gravely injured, and a woman is discovered unconscious wearing a valuable ring. As the woman regains consciousness in a strange house, she grapples with fragmented memories of the accident, unsettling dreams of a child in peril, and a deep mystery tied to the ring on her finger. Surrounded by unfamiliar faces and haunted by a sense of foreboding, the survivor realizes she cannot trust anyone and must uncover the truth of what happened that stormy night, even as danger mounts and enemies conspire against her.  
 
In this revised and updated 10th anniversary edition of Julie Klassen's acclaimed novel, a woman's startling secrets lead her into unexpected danger and romance in Regency England. 
 
Lady Maybe is a clean Regency romance full of mystery, adventure, and a search for identity. This novel will delight fans of the amnesia trope, Julia Quinn, Jane Austen, and Mimi Matthews.
