The Summa Contra Gentiles is the second of Thomas Aquinass three great theological syntheses, written after his Commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard and before his Summa Theologiae. The Summa Contra Gentiles is commonly thought to be composed with a missionary intention, possibly for the use of Thomass brethren in their work of explaining the faith to non-Christians, especially Muslims in Spain.

This volume contains the first and second books of the Summa Contra Gentiles. Book 1 treats of God in himself as reason can know him. Book 2 deals with Gods work of creation from the perspective of what can be known on the basis of human reason.
