Incredible depth and breadth of analysis of a broad range of topics, from metaphysics to religion to my favorite, law. These are excellent selections in a top-notch translation. If it is all just “straw", then it's straw of the finest quality for the nourishing of the mind. (

PREFACE
The present volume represents selections of materials, drawn entirely from Basic Writing of St. Thomas Aquinas, which Random House published in 1945.

To place our purpose within definite limits, we must first investigate the nature and domain of sacred doctrine.

INTRODUCTION
The comparatively short life of St. Thomas Aquinas covers the second and third quarters of the thirteenth century.
