I think it's far easier to understand in the original Latin. Granted, I've only read excerpts but I can see how it might get confusing in translation from loss of precision.

My friend, who recommended the book, is a theology(well, "Divinity", he's an Anglican, working on his Masters) major. I, however, am an accounting major, but am deeply interested in Christian theology.
If I should read it in Latin, well, it'll have to wait several years, as I am far too busy with classes and work at the moment to learn Latin.

Echoing Tom, if you aren't going to read it in Latin you're going to need annotations.

Honestly, you're better off reading a book about it than reading the thing itself.
