# English Summa and contra Gentiles print the public use of Aristotle in Christian theology

Date: 1920

## The fact

The English opera print a programme of citing the Philosopher inside sacred doctrine, a completed intellectual instrument in modern public English. The dated carrier is that translation cluster. Pagan science in a Christian school is an access gain relative to a ban.

## Context

1277 shows the risk.

[Thomas Aquinas](/people/thomas-aquinas) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official edition, Holy See, or archive page and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: New Advent — Summa Theologiae (English Dominican Fathers) (https://www.newadvent.org/summa/; New Advent / Kevin Knight).

## Significance

Printed Aristotle-in-theology is a knowledge-access path across a religious border.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
