Commentary on Thomas Aquinas’s Treatise on the One God

Thomas Aquinas’s classic Treatise on the One God is one of the greatest works ever written in the history of philosophy and theology. In the mid twentieth century, some theologians promoted what was called the ’secularization thesis, ’ which held that religious belief and authority were in terminal decline. Such a view of course continues today, so the time could not be more fitting for a reinvestigation of Treatise on the One God, which opens the massive Summa Theologiae. In this unparalleled exploration of the Treatise’s penetrating arguments J. Budziszewski explores and illuminates the text with a luminous line-by-line commentary. Supplemented with thematic discussions, this book discusses not only the Treatise itself, but also its immediate relevance to contemporary thought and issues of the modern world. This work fittingly closes the author’s series of commentaries on the Summa Theologiae
