The Complete Works Of Francisco Suárez - Commentaries on the Third Part of St. Thomas, Part II, Volume XVIII - Francisco Suárez

This eighteenth volume continues Suárez’s commentary on the Third Part of the Summa Theologiae of Thomas Aquinas, further developing his systematic treatment of the life and redemptive work of Christ.

The work focuses on the earthly life of Christ, including the mysteries of His nativity, hidden life, and public ministry. Suárez carefully examines the theological significance of each stage, emphasizing how Christ’s actions manifest both divine wisdom and salvific purpose.

A substantial portion is devoted to the Passion of Christ, where Suárez analyzes the nature of Christ’s suffering, the voluntary character of His sacrifice, and its infinite meritorious value for human redemption. He also addresses related questions concerning justice, atonement, and the fittingness of the Passion within divine providence.

Throughout the volume, Suárez maintains his characteristic scholastic precision, integrating metaphysical reasoning with Christological doctrine. The result is a detailed and structured account of the incarnate life of Christ as the central act of human salvation and the culmination of divine mercy in history.
