Honestly, you're better off reading a book about it than reading the thing itself. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 27/10/2015 08:54:39 AM

If, as a layman (in both senses of the word), you want to understand Christianity as a whole, there are a lot of good, modern books that would give you a better understanding of the religion than one old book by Aquinas.

Unless you've got a particular academic interest in a subject, I wouldn't start reading primary texts. Tom may crucify me for this.

Echoing Tom, if you aren't going to read it in Latin you're going to need annotations. - 20/10/2015 10:58:57 AM 633 Views
