A decent commentary.
3 stars
It's a good companion to reading the Summa, it is relatively close to the text without becoming a line by line commentary. My only gripe is Davies' need to remove Aquinas from his historical context and discussing what Aquinas would have thought about current issues. This is in my not role of a commentary, or should at least be demarked as such. Over all, the book has helped me in understanding Aquinas Summa and clarified many, if not all, of the vaguenesses of the text as well as introducing the philosophical and theological context of the Summa.
