Prayer Theology

The merit of Thomas Aquinas' philosophy is precisely in combining logical and rational thinking with the Christian faith...

In this sense, Thomas Aquinas anticipates the sociological definition that "man is a social being.

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225 - 1274), one of the greatest philosophical minds of the church, has left us no formal treatise on mystical theology. Instead, his teachings on this subject have been collected from his various works. No such synthesis has been attempted in this book. Rather the editor has simply taken from the Summa Theologica the treatises on religion, on devotion, prayer, and the contemplative life, and presented them in an English dress.
