NOTE TO THIS ELECTRONIC EDITION
The text of this electronic edition was originally
produced by Sandra K. Perry, Perrysburg, Ohio,
and made available through the Christian Classics
Ethereal Library <http://www.ccel.org>. I haveeliminated unnecessary formatting in the text,
corrected some errors in transcription, and added
the dedication, tables of contents, Prologue, and
the numbers of the questions and articles, as they
appeared in the printed translation published by
Benziger Brothers. Each article is now designated
by part, question number, and article number in
brackets, like this:
> SECOND ARTICLE [I, Q. 49, Art. 2]
> Whether the Supreme Good, God, Is the Cause
of Evil?
In a few places, where obvious errors appeared in
the Benziger Brothers edition, I have corrected
them by reference to a Latin text of the Summa.
These corrections are indicated by English text in
brackets. For example, in Part I, Question 45,
Article 2, the first sentence in the Benziger
Brothers edition begins: "Not only is it impossible
that anything should be created by God…." By
reference to the Latin, "non solum non est
impossibile a Deo aliquid creari" (emphasis added),
this has been corrected to "Not only is it [not]
impossible that anything should be created by
God…."
This electronic edition also differs from the
Benziger Brothers edition in the following details
(as well as the obvious lack of the original page
numbers and headers):
* The repetitive expression "We proceed thus to
the [next] Article" does not appear directly belowthe [next] Article" does not appear directly below
the title of each article.
* Italics are represented by underscores at the
beginning and end, like this. Quotations and other
"quotable" matter, however, are ordinarily set off
by quotation marks with no underscores in this
edition, in accordance with common English usage,
even where they were set in italics with no
quotation marks in the Benziger Brothers edition.
Titles of books are set off by underscores when
they appear in the text with no parentheses, but
not when the books are cited in parentheses.
* Bible chapters and verses are cited with arabic
numerals separated by colons, like this: "Dan.
7:10"—not like this: "Dan. vii. 10." Small roman
numerals have been retained where they appear in
citations to books other than the Bible.
* Any matter that appeared in a footnote in the
Benziger Brothers edition is presented in brackets
at the point in the text where the footnote mark
appeared.
* Greek words are presented in Roman
transliteration.
* Paragraphs are not indented and are separated
by blank lines.
* Numbered topics, set forth at the beginning of
each question and at certain other places, are
ordinarily presented on a separate line for each
topic.* Titles of questions are in all caps.
Anything else in this electronic edition that does not
correspond to the content of the Benziger Brothers
edition may be regarded as a defect in this edition
and attributed to me (David McClamrock).

PROLOGUE
Forasmuch as our Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ,
in order to "save His people from their sins" (Matt.
1:21), as the angel announced, showed unto us in
His own Person the way of truth, whereby we may
attain to the bliss of eternal life by rising again, it is
necessary, in order to complete the work of
theology, that after considering the last end of
human life, and the virtues and vices, there should
follow the consideration of the Saviour of all, and of
the benefits bestowed by Him on the human race.
Concerning this we must consider (1) the Saviour
Himself; (2) the sacraments by which we attain to
our salvation; (3) the end of immortal life to which
we attain by the resurrection.
Concerning the first, a double consideration
occurs: the first, about the mystery of the
