A fresh translation of quaestiones from the Summa theologiae of Thomas Aquinas, edited by Robert Miner.

The edition also contains Aquinas’s treatment of charity’s effects—love, joy, peace, and mercy—and the vices opposed to them, such as hatred, envy, and war. Featuring five supplementary essays by noted Aquinas scholars, the volume will enable readers to engage more thoroughly with the thought of Thomas Aquinas. (Publisher).

This book explores the relation between agape (or Christian charity) and social justice. Timothy Jackson defines agape as the central virtue in Christian ethical thought and action and applies his insights to three concrete issues: political violence, forgiveness, and abortion. Taking his primary cue from the New Testament while drawing extensively from contemporary theology and philosophy, Jackson identifies three features of Christian charity: unconditional commitment to the good of others, equal regard for others' well-being, and passionate service open to self-sacrifice for the sake of others. Charity, prescribed by Jesus for his disciples and named by Saint Paul as the "greatest" theological virtue, is contrasted with various accounts of justice. Jackson argues that agape is not trumped by justice or other goods. Rather, agape precedes justice: without the work of love, society would not produce persons capable of merit, demerit, and contract, the elements of most modern conceptions of justice. Jackson then considers the implications of his ideas for several questions: the nature of God, the relation between Christian love and political violence, the place of forgiveness, and the morality of abortion. Arguing that agapic love is to be construed as a gift of grace as well as a divine commandment, Jackson concludes that love is the "eternal life" that makes temporal existence possible and thus the "first" Christian virtue. Though foremost a contribution to Christian ethics, Jackson's arguments and the issues he takes up will find a broader readership.
This highly personal part-memoir part-self-help book will take you through the author's journey of first turning away from God, and then coming closer to Him. It is a story of vulnerability and honesty. She hopes to show readers in a rocky relationship with God how she was able to establish her strong foundation of faith. Along the way she shares nuggets of advice as to how one can get through the challenges and obstacles in life with His help. She tells some of the great stories from Jesus, explains how certain Bible Scriptures helped her, and encourages readers to find God and create their own solid foundation of faith. Teaching about Jesus is not easy, but she feels by being able to show her own difficult journey, it might help alleviate others' fears and in the end bring them closer to God.
