About
The Summa Theologica is the most famous work of Thomas Aquinas although it was never finished. It was intended as a manual for beginners and a compilation of all of the main theological teachings of that time. It summarizes the reasoning for almost all points of Christian theology in the West, which, before the Protestant Reformation, subsisted solely in the Roman Catholic Church. The Summa's topics follow a cycle: the existence of God, God's creation, Man, Man's purpose, Christ, the Sacraments, and back to God. This selection of the Summa Theologica covers questions 47-170 of the Secunda Secundae , comprising a Treatise on the Cardinal Virtues: Prudence , Justice , Fortitude , and Temperance - each with their own subordinate moral virtues.
