Summary
"Summa Theologica, Part III (Tertia Pars)" by Saint Aquinas Thomas is a theological treatise written in the 13th century. This work is a systematic examination of Christian doctrine, focusing particularly on the nature of Christ, the Incarnation, and the sacraments essential for salvation. As part of the larger "Summa Theologica," this volume addresses core theological questions regarding the implications of God's incarnation in Christ and his role in humanity's salvation. The opening of this third part lays the groundwork for a detailed exploration of the Incarnation of Christ, beginning with the necessity and appropriateness of God becoming man. It emphasizes the importance of Christ's dual nature as both fully divine and fully human and introduces questions about His knowledge, grace, and the purpose of the sacraments. By contemplating the nature of the Incarnation, the opening portion prompts readers to consider profound theological issues while aiming to illustrate how these doctrines contribute to a deeper understanding of faith and salvation in Christian theology.
