Light of Faith: The Compendium of Theology

Two years before his death in 1274, the revered philosopher and theologian St. Thomas Aquinas was asked by his assistant, Brother Reginald, to write a simple summary of theology for those who found his massive Summa Theologica intimidating. Aquinas quickly wrote The Compendium of Theology, retitled Light of Faith in this edition, in which he distilled the major topics of theology for the layman and explored - in writing that is concise, readable, and profound - subjects ranging from the Holy Trinity to Creation, Angels, and the Final Judgement. Light of Faith is a highly accessible exposition of theology that provides an excellent foundation for anyone seeking spiritual growth through a philosophical examination of Christian doctrine.
