The Catechetical Instructions of St Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas is possibly the greatest of all the philosophers and theologians of the Catholic Church. His catechetical instructions are an ideal introduction to his thought, and cover many issues topical to today's new Christian. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy was conceived as a reaction against, or as an agreement with, his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law, metaphysics, and political theory.
