Résumé
--
The unabridged translation of the most important Christological synthesis ever written by a theologian and spiritual master, a monument within - and at the heart of - the 'Summa theologiae', whose majesty and force have, quite justifiably, inspired some to compare it to the cathedrals. This translation, annotated with precision, is illuminated by 24 extremely clear studies of 'historical and doctrinal contexts' some of which cover several chapters. They show how Saint Thomas combines speculative reflection and positive documentation to achieve an accurate intelligence of the mystery of Christ. They also show the close link between the divine person of Jesus and the redeeming work he accomplished as a human being. According to Saint Thomas, we are constantly disassociating different theological treatises: speaking of grace without linking it to the work of Christ or of the resurrection without mentioning the value of salvation of the hypostatic union without stressing that the ultimate explanation of the redeeming work lies therein, forming the discipline called soteriology. In Thomas's writings, the unity in all these things creates harmony and the driving force of his Treatise. But these studies also reveal that Saint Thomas, through his knowledge and his methods, is a great connoisseur of Tradition: he has vast intelligence of the first ecumenical Councils and the Greek Fathers of the Church, whose techniques were passed on to him. To read Saint Thomas is not only to rediscover Augustine, Leo or Gregory the Great it is also to learn from Athanasius and Cyril of Alexandria, Maximus the Confessor and John of Damascus. In the third part of this book, readers will discover the introductions to and translations of 50 texts taken from other parts of Thomas's work, which lead on to other developments of his Christology, revealing the spiritual instruction of a great master.
