“Summa Theologica” was an attempt at an entire cyclopedia of Western Christian (i.e., Catholic) theology.

Actually, the Summa is theology for beginners.

"Because the doctor of Catholic truth ought not only to teach the proficient, but also to instruct beginners (according to the Apostle: 'As unto little ones in Christ, I gave you milk to drink, not meat' -- 1 Corinthians 3:1-2), we purpose in this book to treat of whatever belongs to the Christian religion, in such a way as may tend to the instruction of beginners."
-- Summa Theologiae, Prologue

I appreciate that interesting quote, but gosh, don’t discourage us! Although Flannery O’Connor had Aquinas as her bedtime reading every night. Maybe with milk and cookies, I could digest the Summa more easily.
