Welcome to the Thomistica Website

This website is intended to be a supplement to reading Saint Thomas' works. We will first be starting off by reading a few introductory works which are necessary to digest before we begin to read Thomas' works. In order to grasp the magnanimous work of the Summa Theologica, which we will be starting with, it is important to understand the background to the author and his work. Jean-Pierre Torrell's work titled, 'Aquinas's Summa' and Fr. Romanus Cessario's work titled, 'A Short History of Thomism' were chosen to provide this information. They are available on Amazon. As we go through these two books we will post our thoughts. After this we will begin our study of the Summa Theologica, question by question. This participation is by invite only. If anyone is interested in further study, we are proposing meeting after Mass on Saturday mornings to discuss the books we are reading.
