View source for Summa Theologica

'''Summa Theologica''' is a book by [[Thomas Aquinas]], written from 1265 through 1273.  It is considered by many to be the most perfect and complete summary of [[Christian]] theology.

Written in the last dozen years of Thomas Aquinas's life, it fills about 3,000 pages of double-columned pages and is considered one of the most influential works in [[Western civilization]].  It is vast in length: 1.8 million words, comprised of 512 Questions, 2,669 Articles, and roughly 10,000 objections and replies.

The Summa Theologica led Thomas Aquinas to a spectacular personal revelation during a [[Mass]], which caused him to stop writing altogether, and he died three months later without completing this masterpiece.
