A Tour of The Summa

Recommended reading:

A Tour of The Summa
: A Journey Through St. Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica, by Rt. Rev. Msgr. Paul J. Glenn 

"This unique synopsis of the Summa Theologica is a complete, chapter-by-chapter restatement of St. Thomas' work, intended to expose readers to the totality of St. Thomas' thought and yet be brief enough to fit into one volume. Author of eleven other books on philosophy, Msgr. Glenn brings to this work—by far his greatest—a lifetime of teaching and writing experience. A masterpiece in its own right."—TAN Books



"The Summa Theologica is considered by the Catholic Church to be the most important of the many works which the towering  St. Thomas Aquinas enriched the world. But many lack the inclination or opportunity to spend years of sustained effort to study it.

"A TOUR OF THE SUMMA was written especially for those persons. It is a journey through the greatest work of a Doctor of the Church, rendering St. Thomas' arguments in a shortened yet rigorously faithful form.

"Msgr. Paul J. Glenn brings a lifetime of teaching and writing experience to this, his masterwork. Here he distills the core of the Angelic Doctor's treatise into a dense yet highly readable single volume that makes the Summa accessible to all.

"A TOUR OF THE SUMMA will serve as both a road map and masterkey, unlocking the rich landscape of St. Thomas' insights and glorious mind."
