Description from the seller
Rare edition of this treatise on scholastic theology which sits within the long medieval tradition of manuals intended to present in a clear, methodical, and synthetic manner the principal truths of the Christian faith -
As heir to the great theological Summae of the Middle Ages and deeply marked by the thought of Saint Augustine, Pierre Lombard, Saint Thomas Aquinas and the Church's main doctors, the work offers an orderly presentation of the foundations of Catholic doctrine, at a time when the debates sparked by the Protestant Reformation and the Counter-Reformation gave particular importance to the theological formation of the clergy and students -
Organized according to a logical progression, the treaty begins by examining the existence, nature and attributes of God, developing the notions of omnipotence, eternity, wisdom, justice, mercy and divine providence, before addressing the mystery of the Holy Trinity, the unity of the divine substance and the distinction of the three persons -
The author continues with the study of the creation of the visible and invisible world, the nature of angels, their hierarchy and mission, then sets forth the creation of man, his original state, the Fall of Adam and Eve, the transmission of original sin as well as the spiritual and moral consequences of this rupture between humanity and its Creator -
