My Way of Life
My Way of Life
The Summa simplified for everyone.
Saint Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica is one of the most influential and significant works in the history of the world, but because of its breadth and scope it is generally considered to be almost inaccessible to most readers. Until now.
In My Way of Life Fathers Walter Farrell and Martin J. Healy champion a brilliant summation of the Thomistic doctrines that offers the reader an encounter with wisdom and the use of that wisdom in understanding and knowing our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ.
My Way of Life presents small, concise portions of the Summa in a manageable format. This work will allow the reader to consider some of the highest thoughts of one of history’s greatest minds and apply them to the modern world, including:
- The Oneness of God
- The nature of Angels (p. 63)
- The hierarchy of angels, demons, and humans (p. 121)
- Man’s disposition to pursue happiness
- The Divine Life in man
- The Incarnation Jesus and its ramifications (p. 443)
- The Last Things (Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell)
With My Way of Life the timelessness of the Summa is now accessible to all. In a world that seems to simultaneously advance in some areas and regress in others, the Summa Theologica powerfully reminds the reader that by definition, the true, and the good, and the beautiful never change.

Is there a law that these good books have to be so small? It's really ridiculous! (Posted on 12/19/2015)

Aquinas Made Simple Review by Max Bville
Rating Fr. Farrell was one of our finest instructors of Scholasticism and Aquinas. This little Summa is wonderfully edited and a real achievement. The Summa, which can be very difficult for the average reader, is made readily accessible by Fr. Farrell. I only have 1 issue with this edition - it's small size. But it's also convenient - I keep one in my car, one in my office and a third in my travel bag. I highly recommend this edition to any and all readers - it is clear and concise and I wish all editions of the Summa could be so. I encourage any reader to obtain copies of Fr. Farrell's various sections of the Summa he produced in his lifetime (he died 60 years ago). (Posted on 2/16/2015)
