Sacrae Theologiae Summa: The Sacraments; Baptism; Confirmation; Penance; Anointing of the Sick, Volume IV, Part I by Joseph A. de Aldama, Severino González Rivas, Francis A. P. Sola, and José F. Sagüés is a scholastic manual in sacramental theology that systematically examines the sacraments of Christian initiation and healing within a Thomistic framework.

A central concern of the volume is the nature, institution, and effects of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Penance, and Anointing of the Sick. The authors analyze each sacrament in terms of matter, form, minister, recipient, and sacramental grace, emphasizing their role in sanctifying the faithful and restoring the soul to divine friendship.

The work also addresses theological questions and historical controversies surrounding these sacraments, including their necessity, efficacy, and relation to grace and justification. Overall, it provides a comprehensive scholastic treatment of the sacraments as essential instruments of Christ’s saving work in the Church.
