A truly classic work in
systematic theology authored by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274 A.D.). The great
theologian employs employs Aristotelian philosophy and logic to produce an
amazingly systematic and rational system of dogma and morals, which is
considered the best defense of Christianity ever written. The contents are a
virtual compendium, consisting of 3000 pages with convincing answers about
almost every question that can be posed about God. God is viewed as the
Creator, the end or goal for created beings (especially angels and men) and as
the Redeemer of a fallen world. For Thomas all of creation is bound up in the
theater of grace, with the saving activity of God are refuge. History is
constantly moving, completely transformed by the incarnation of the Word as
Christ becomes the God-man. Human nature is renewed by the Resurrection and
glorification of the crucified Christ moving toward the time when Christ turns
over the kingdom to the Father. There is no conflict between the order of
nature and the order of grace, nor between human reason and God's revealed
truth. Rather there is blessed continuity since each comes from God and
proceeds toward Him. Christians are not only temples of the Holy Spirit but
also instruments as well. God is the efficient or First Cause, we are
instrumental causes, reflecting James' saying, that "faith without works is
dead as a body without breath." Thomas addresses sacred doctrine, law, faith,
hope, charity, the life and death of Christ and the Blessed Eucharist among
other subjects. Also included: RSV
Bible, Catholic Edition, the Golden Chain
(a superb
4 volume commentary on the four Gospels from the Early Church Fathers,
collected by St. Thomas) which is
hyperlinked to the Bible, Prayers and
Hymns of St. Thomas ( to include audio
clips of hymns). Our value price is

The Fathers of the Church spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, defended the Church in apologetic writing and fought the many heresies of the first six centuries of Christianity. These men, also called
Apostolic Fathers, gave heroic and powerful witness to the faith, some dying the death of a martyr. Like Jesus who referred to Abraham as a spiritual father (Luke 16: 24) and St. Paul, who referred to himself in the same terms (1Cor 4: 15), the Fathers were zealous for the word of God. Their writings are a testimony to the faith of the early Church, yet many Christians are unfamiliar with the work of Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp of Smyrna, Justin the Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen, Cyprian of
Carthage, Athanasius, Ephraim, Cyril of Jerusalem, Hilary of Poitiers or
Gregory the Great to name of few of the early Fathers. This is the historic
Edinburgh edition with the Folio Technology search engine and personalizing
features from highlighting to writing in your own notes and printing. This
product contains the full 38 volumes of the writings of the Early Church
Fathers.
Pope John Paul's works are featured along with a pictorial biography of the most traveled pope in history who is already being referred to as "John Paul the Great" by some of the faithful and of the life of Mother Teresa, the founder of the Missionaries of Charity serving the poorest of the poor in India and more than 120 countries, whose Christ-like love changed life in many countries.
Contents: Includes all papal encyclicals, plus a great number of Pope John Paul II's general audiences, homilies and other addresses, including selected audio
addresses all linked to Sacred Scripture. These convey the pope's great knowledge of Scripture, which is constantly being cited. Many believe his stress on peace, reconciliation and the new evangelization have
made him a great pope and his writings reflect his great knowledge, piety and Christ-like love.
