His \u003cem\u003eCursus Theologicus\u003c\/em\u003e is a commentary on the \u003cem\u003eSumma Theologiae\u003c\/em\u003e in the manner of the Master's exposition of the Sentences of Peter Lombard, that is, the pursuit of the main questions raised by the text rather than a textual commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in modern editions of the \u003cem\u003eCursus Theologicus\u003c\/em\u003e are a number of preliminary studies, among them a remarkable analysis of the \u003cem\u003eSumma\u003c\/em\u003e, part by part, treatise by treatise, in which the exquisite architecture of this masterpiece of Thomas Aquinas is magisterially displayed. This may be read as the \u003cem\u003eexplicatio textus\u003c\/em\u003e, essential for reading the \u003cem\u003eCursus Theologicus\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReaders of Jacques and Raissa Maritain are aware of the central role John of St. Thomas played in their grasp of Aquinas. Indeed, this was true of most of those involved in the Thomistic Revival inaugurated by Leo XIII.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis translation of John of St. Thomas's Introduction as it appears in the Solesmes edition makes available to a new generation of students of Thomas a precious handbook and guide to the \u003cem\u003eSumma\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596684509420,"sku":"9781890318703","price":51.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/d17f7938a822177a10d103099044523f.jpg?v=1777939881","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/intro-summa-theologiae-thomas-aquinas-by-john-of-st-thomas-9781890318703","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
