Description

The Summa Contra Gentiles was written to explain and defend the Catholic faith to those who were not Christian. Thomas Aquinas realized he could not speak about God to Muslims and Pagans using the Jewish and Christian Scriptures because they did not believe they contained God's revealed truth. The only way open was to explain God's nature, Creation and Providence by the use of reason and ,in the last part of this monumental work "Salvation", show that there is Knowledge of God which transcends reason.

He states, "There is, then, in man a threefold knowledge of things divine. Of these, the first is that in which man, by the natural light of reason, ascends to a knowledge of God through creatures. The second is that by which the divine truth -- exceeding the human intellect -- descends on us in the manner of revelation, not, however, as something made clear to be seen, but as something spoken in words to be believed. The third is that by which the human mind will be elevated to gaze perfectly upon the things revealed." (SCG, BK IV, Salvation, 1. Forward)
