Theology for the Layman (Vol. 1: God, the Angels, and Creation)

• Classic theology rooted in the Summa Theologiae
• Originally published with ecclesiastical approval
• Designed for lay readers and study groups
• Clear teaching on God, man, and moral life
• Grow in understanding of faith and purpose

This timeless volume offers a rich and accessible introduction to theology for everyday readers.

Originally published as a series of pamphlets with ecclesiastical approval between 1941 and 1946, these writings were designed to bring the depth of St. Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologiae to laypeople. Carefully edited and compiled, they retain their clarity, purpose, and enduring relevance.

Fr. Walter Farrell’s vision was to present theology not as an abstract discipline, but as a living exploration of the relationship between God and man. Through these reflections, readers are invited to discover new meaning in human life, moral action, and the pursuit of truth.

Structured for personal reading or group study, the book encourages steady engagement with foundational questions of faith. Its approachable style makes even complex theological ideas understandable and applicable to daily life.

More than a study resource, this work is an invitation to deeper conversion and renewal. It calls readers to see their lives in light of God’s design and to grow in wisdom, purpose, and devotion.
