    Summa of the Christian Life (Deluxe Set)

    By Fr. Jordan Aumann, OP · Featuring the writings of Venerable Louis of Granada · Published by TAN Books

    Overview

    In the Summa of the Christian Life collection, Fr. Jordan Aumann, OP, masterfully gathers and organizes selections from the greatest works of Venerable Louis of Granada according to the structure and themes of St. Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica. The result is a coherent, accessible presentation of Catholic doctrine and spirituality that unites theology with lived Christian experience.

    Drawing from classics such as The Book of Prayer and Meditation, The Sinner’s Guide, Memorial of the Christian Life, and other foundational texts, this series presents the full scope of the Christian life, from the nature of God and creation to the moral life, the sacraments, and the last things. These are not abstract excerpts, but carefully chosen passages meant to form the mind and inflame the heart.

    Venerable Louis of Granada stands among the most influential spiritual teachers of the sixteenth century. Though born into extreme poverty and acquainted with suffering, he became a Dominican preacher whose clarity, humility, and charity drew countless souls to God. His works were praised and recommended by saints across centuries and were famously described by St. Francis de Sales as a “second Breviary.” Uniquely for his time, Louis wrote primarily for the laity, combining depth with simplicity in a way few spiritual writers have matched.

    • Study Catholic theology and spirituality in a clear, integrated structure.
    • Learn from one of the Church’s greatest masters of the interior life.
    • See doctrine applied directly to prayer, virtue, and daily Christian living.
    • Benefit from Fr. Jordan Aumann’s expert organization and theological insight.
    • Ideal for sustained spiritual reading and formation.

    Included in This Series

    • Books 1–2: The Existence and Perfections of God; The Marvels of Creation
    • Books 3–5: The Quest for Happiness; The Theological Virtues; The Moral Virtues
    • Books 6–8: Christ, Our Redeemer; The Sacraments; The Last Things

    About the Editor

    Fr. Jordan Aumann, OP (1916–2007), served as Director of the Institute of Spirituality at the Angelicum in Rome and was internationally recognized as a leading authority on spiritual theology. His scholarship, fidelity to tradition, and pastoral sensitivity make this series a reliable guide for serious Catholic formation.

    Intended Audience

    Ideal for lay Catholics seeking structured spiritual formation, priests and religious, seminarians, catechists, and theology students. Especially well suited for readers who want theology that informs prayer, shapes virtue, and illuminates the path to holiness.

    FAQs

    Is this series academic or devotional?
    It is both. The theological structure provides clarity, while the selections themselves are deeply practical and devotional.

    Do I need prior theological training?
    No. The writing is accessible, making complex truths understandable without oversimplifying them.

    Key Themes

    • Theology ordered toward the Christian life
    • Prayer, virtue, and sacramental living
    • Clarity of doctrine united with spiritual depth
