Read by Jim Ruddy

(4.3 stars; 37 reviews)

The Summa Theologica (or the Summa Theologiae or simply the Summa, written 1265–1274) is the most famous work of Thomas Aquinas although it was never finished. It was intended as a manual for beginners as a compilation of all of the main theological teachings of that time. It summarizes the reasonings for almost all points of Christian theology in the West, which, before the Protestant Reformation, subsisted solely in the Roman Catholic Church. The Summa's topics follow a cycle: the existence of God, God's creation, Man, Man's purpose, Christ, the Sacraments, and back to God. (Summary adapted from the Wikipedia)

This is part two of six parts of the Pars Prima, consisting of questions regarding the Trinity and Creation. (10 hr 41 min)

After listening to the first part of Pars Prima, I was hopeful that the quality would continue to be top notch. And i was not disappointed

Great job on reading and recording the text.

A little hard to follow it this way since this requires a lot of thought and reflection.
