For centuries, the Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas has stood as one of the greatest monuments of Christian thought--yet its depth can feel daunting to many modern readers. In this clear and faithful synthesis, Fr. Mauro Gagliardi, a priest and theologian of the Pontifical Universities in Rome, opens wide the door to Aquinas's magnificent vision of Jesus Christ.
This single-volume work, drawn from Fr. Gagliardi's acclaimed Italian trilogy, presents a lucid and prayerful exposition of the Christology and soteriology of St. Thomas. With precision and pastoral warmth, Fr. Gagliardi guides readers through the mysteries of the Incarnation, Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension--revealing how every act of Christ manifests both divine mercy and perfect justice.
Without adding or altering St. Thomas's teaching, Fr. Gagliardi renders it newly accessible to contemporary believers, allowing even beginners in theology to contemplate the Person and saving work of Christ with confidence and wonder.
Jesus Christ According to St. Thomas Aquinas is a treasure for all who desire to understand more deeply the Incarnate Word--the Redeemer whose love, wisdom, and sacrifice continue to illuminate the path to eternal life.
