Given the popularity of the Summa Theologica and the forthcoming Summa Contra Gentiles, I'm mystified by the apparent lack of interest among Logos users in the Catena Aurea by Thomas Aquinas (which is on Community Pricing atm). Support levels have been hovering somewhere around "indifferent" for a few weeks now, but I'm not sure why.
Maybe this 8-volume work is the proverbial last (financial and/or literary) straw for Aquinas fans, or maybe people aren't too impressed with the Church Fathers anymore, but whatever your opinion, consider this. The Catena is essentially a commentary on the Four Gospels drawn from the works of the Church Fathers under the editorship of Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), the greatest of the medieval Scholastics. His ideas still inform western Christians today, almost regardless of their churchmanship.
Even if you've already got the writings of the Church Fathers, these very affordable works may still be an excellent buy, if only because the sequence and selection of material will reveal so much about Aquinas' own insights (and, arguably, oversights).
If, on the other hand, you've been wondering when you'll ever get around to affording the writings of the Church Fathers or Aquinas, the forty-buck maximum bid you can make on these beauties ($5 maximum per volume) may provide you with an excellent introduction to both.
As so often with Logos' offerings, sell the car (again!), cancel the holiday, and explain to your long-suffering loved ones that this is the birthday/anniversary gift you've been waiting for. Go on - you know you want to...
