Thomas Aquinas's work on the Trinity in his Summa Theologiae has since the 1900s been seen, along with Augustine's De Trinitate, as representative of a Latin trinitarian tradition. This tradition is assumed to begin with the one God, the one divine essence as a whole. Only afterwards does it see God as three in persons. Philosophical conerns - rather than the revelation of God in Christ - are assumed to be the basis for the discussion. According to many modern theologians the immanent life of God in this tradition is thereby separated from the rest of Christian faith and consequently, has no relevance for the believer. This book examines Thomas's trinitarian theology in light of this criticism. Thomas's account of the Trinity of Persons and the coherence of language about those Persons is not a rational demonstration but an expression of faith seeking understanding. The crucial faoundation for this is Thomas's theory of divine naming. The later chapters examine possible influences upon Thomas. Smith concludes that although Thomas is best understood when read in light of his own intellectual context, one cannot assume that every influence is positive.

Togus, located 4.5 miles east of Augusta, Maine, was formerly part of the town of Chelsea. After the Civil War, Congress enacted laws and established a system of facilities that collectively became known as "National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers." The critical need to establish an eastern branch of the National Home led to the selection of the former Togus Spring Hotel, which after some remodeling, opened for Union Civil War veterans in November 1866. Gathered from cherished family albums, collectors of Togus artifacts, libraries, and archives, Togus, Down in Maine: The First National Veterans Home represents the first published history of the area, and most of the photographs have not been viewed by the public. The images of Civil War veterans are of particular interest, along with views of buildings, barracks, and hospitals from 1866 to the 1930s. From 1932 to 1960, over 60 buildings were demolished, and new buildings with reinforced concrete and brick facings were built.
