📖 Catholic Book Review (★★★★★)
This section of St. Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica, Pars Secunda Secundae (Second Part of the Second Part), Treatise on the Theological Virtues, focuses on the first and greatest supernatural gift given to the soul—Faith.

Aquinas dissects its nature, necessity, and divine origin, showing how Faith is both a grace from God and the foundation upon which hope and charity are built. Here the Angelic Doctor clarifies what it means to believe “with divine and Catholic faith,” addressing heresies, doubts, and the proper relationship between faith and reason.

He examines the act of belief itself, the object of faith (God and the truths He reveals), and the sin of unbelief. With unmatched clarity, Aquinas affirms that Faith is not blind assent, but a supernatural illumination of the intellect, enabling us to cling firmly to the truths revealed by God through Scripture and Tradition. For Catholics, this treatise is an indispensable guide to understanding and deepening the very virtue that unites us to God.

It challenges the listener to guard the deposit of faith and live it out courageously in a world that often resists divine truth. Final Verdict: ★★★★★ — Essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the supernatural virtue that is the gateway to eternal life.
