A shortened version of Kreeft's much larger Summa of the Summa, which in turn was a shortened version of the Summa Theologica. The reason for the double shortening is pretty obvious: the original runs some 4000 pages! (The Summa of the Summa was just over 500.) The Summa is certainly the greatest, most ambitious, most rational book of theology ever written. In it, there is also much philosophy, which is selected, excerpted, arranged, introduced, and explained in footnotes here by Kreeft, a popular Thomist teacher and writer. St. Thomas Aquinas is universally recognized as one of the greatest philosophers who ever lived. His writings combine the two fundamental ideals of philosophical writing: clarity and profundity. He is a master of metaphysics and technical terminology, yet so full of both theoretical and practical wisdom. He is the master of common sense. The Summa Theologica is timeless, but particularly important today because of his synthesis of faith and reason, revelation and philosophy, and the Biblical and the classical Greco-Roman heritages. This little book is designed for beginners, either for classroom use or individually. It contains the most famous and influential passages of St. Thomas' philosophy with copious aids to understanding them.

We've made it easy to quickly gift a Premium Church Militant video subscription to anyone you wish.
Choose one of the four options:
Please note! When you order a gift subscription you should receive a separate email with the code and instructions to redeem it (which you can send to the recipient). Some internet companies are blocking our emails. If you do not receive the email with the code, contact us at sales@churchmilitant.com and we will be able to help you.
Shipping Information: Shipping times provided on this website or elsewhere are the estimated transit time of the post office and do not include our processing time. Depending on stock status and our volume of orders, delivery can vary from a few days to several weeks. If you need your package by a certain date, please contact us and we will do our best to expedite the order.
Mail Classes: Priority Mail is the name given to a mail class from USPS, and does not refer to a faster processing time by us (if you need an item urgently, please contact us and we will do our best to expedite the order). Priority Mail is the least expensive mail class available for domestic packages over one pound and international packages over four pounds. For smaller packages, First Class mail may be less expensive. Shipping times for both are comparable. Media Mail is only available for domestic orders consisting entirely of DVDs, CDs or books. It is generally less expensive than either First Class or Priority Mail, but shipping times are slower (anything from a couple of days to a week extra).
International Orders & Duty: All packages are marked with appropriate customs information. You are responsible for paying any duties or taxes as a result of import. You are also responsible for ensuring any items ordered are legal to import to your jurisdiction. Church Militant is not responsible for items seized at customs or taxes due.
Returns & Refunds: Per Michigan and US Federal law, we do not normally offer refunds or returns. If an item is damaged or the wrong item is sent, contact us and we will replace it. If you wish to inquire about a refund, exchange or return contact us - but we are not obligated to provide such and are permitted to charge a restocking fee. Please do not return items without having contacted us and arranged a return; receiving an item marked as return does not obligate us to make a refund.
UK & EU Residents Please Note! UK HMRC and the individual EU tax authorities require the payment of VAT (at 20% for the UK and rates varying from 17% to 27% for EU countries) on all goods imported into the United Kingdom or EU. Church Militant does not collect UK or EU VAT on purchases; purchasers are responsible for the payment of VAT to tax authorities when items reach the UK or EU.
