Summa Theologica is a famous theology book by Thomas Aquinas, a Scholastic philosopher. He was influenced by Augustine of Hippo and Peter Lombard. The Summa gathers and explains nearly all the main teachings of the Church in a clear, organized way. Although Aquinas never finished it due to his death, it remains one of the most influential works in Christian theology, philosophy, and Western literature, condensing his life's thought into a single, unified work.
