Wisdom words of Thomas Aquinas Independent column, 1999-2000. Thomas is known for his systematic thorough analysis of a question. His punch-packed aphorisms or logia buried in his presentation often go unnoticed. Here a few are brought out in free translation.
Christian-Islamic Preambles of Faith: An Exercise in Philosophy of Religion or Kalâm for Our Day Summarizing and updating Thomas Aquinas's Summa Contra Gentiles, Books I-III, this book is an apologia pro fide, to the extent that this faith is shared by Christians and Muslims.
خلاصة الكلام لجميع الآنام The Arabic of the above. I profoundly thank Daniel Ali for his corrections of my Arabic.
Thomas Aquinas: Reasons for the Faith against Muslim objections (and one objection of the Greeks and Armenians), to the Cantor of Antioch. Introduction and translation, first published in Islamochristiana (Rome), 22 (1996), 31-52.
Philosophy of Nature A critical summary of Thomas' Commentary on the Physics. As Aristotle's Physics culminates with an argument for the existence of a First Mover, the present work evaluates this argument and discusses all of Thomas' texts that argue for the existence of God.
Thomas Aquinas, Islam and the Arab philosophers Which authors and works he knew and did not know, what he borrowed and what he rejected.
