About This Item
B. Herder Book Co, 1954. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. NEAR FINE/Very Good. Fifth Printing. 736 pp. 8vo, orange cloth, gilt spine lettering. Bookplate and owner's name in pen to FFEP, some trivial rubbing to extremities, otherwise exceedingly clean and sharp with tight binding. DJ price clipped, spine sunned, clean and crisp o/w in mylar wrap. An important and scarce work in modern Thomism. 'If we were to classify all sciences and arrange them in hierarchical order, the first and most important would be theology. Within this science the chief object of study is God Himself. And in our study of God, the question of primary importance concerns the nature of God, the very meaning of the word 'God' itself. Implicit in this definition are certain truths that enormously enrich our idea of God. Philosophical conclusions are confirmed and amplified by divine revelation. Although when we speak of God, our very language applies by way of analogy, yet the contents of our knowledge about God is exceedingly abundant. This knowledge constitutes the subject matter of Garrigou-Lagrange's THE ONE GOD, which is in the form of a commentary on the first twenty-six questions of Pars prima of St. Thomas' Summa theologica. Every priest, knowing that his seminary studies need to be continually reviewed and enlarged, will find in the present volume exactly that review and amplification of the important tract, De Deo uno. This clear and exact translation by a Benedictine professor of theology, Dom Bede Rose, makes the English-speaking world his debtor.' - From the DJ flap.
