Aquinas's Shorter Summa: St. Thomas Aquinas's Own Concise Version of His Summa Theologica - Thryft

Essential Catholic theology, Aquinas's concise summary.

If you're intrigued by the core tenets of Catholic doctrine but find the original "Summa Theologica" daunting, this abridged version by Aquinas himself boils it down to its essence. It's a streamlined pathway to understanding complex theological concepts like the Trinity and the Incarnation, which could make it extraordinarily appealing for both students of theology and practicing Catholics seeking deeper understanding of their faith.
