Summary "Summa Theologica, Part II-II (Secunda Secundae)" by Saint Aquinas Thomas is a theological treatise written in the 13th century. This foundational work of Christian philosophy systematically explores the virtues of faith, hope, and charity, diving deep into their implications and the doctrines surrounding them. It serves to elucidate the principles of Catholic belief, detailing the nature of faith and the essential virtues that underpin moral theology. The opening portion of this work introduces the treatise on theological virtues, beginning with an exploration of faith across ten articles. It raises foundational questions, such as the object of faith, whether it can encapsulate propositions or complex truths, and its relationship to reason. This section emphasizes key concepts like the supremacy of divine truth, the necessity of faith for salvation, and the distinctions between belief in God, faith in God, and the act of believing. Through rigorous dialectical reasoning, Saint Thomas lays the groundwork for understanding how faith operates within the wider framework of Christian doctrine.
