This selection from the Summa Theologica focuses on the theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity, encompassing questions 1-46 of the Secunda Secundae. Saint Thomas Aquinas examines the nature, objects, and effects of each virtue, exploring their role in the Christian life and their relationship to God and humanity. The treatise delves into the characteristics of faith, including its foundation in reason and revelation, its relationship to knowledge and doubt, and its role in shaping moral conduct. It examines hope as a virtue rooted in the promise of eternal life and its influence on actions and aspirations. The treatise concludes with a comprehensive analysis of charity, including its nature as love of God and neighbor, its effects on human relationships, and its importance for achieving salvation. Throughout the work, Aquinas utilizes his characteristic method of reasoning, drawing upon Scripture, philosophical arguments, and the wisdom of previous theologians to present a systematic and insightful exploration of the theological virtues.
