Online Guide to Aquinas' Summa

[Filia Mariae]

I am looking for an online resource that kind of goes through the Summa, giving a kind of "translation" into modern language of Thomas' Objection, I Answer That, and Reply to Objection format. Anyone know of such a gem?

Try here Filia...I believe I saw a link to Summa in this and a bunch of other stuff:

The new advent link on that page is a good one, and it is my goto source for the Summa. But it really isn't modern in the slightest sense, even after referring to that version for over a year now I still sometimes have to look in a dictionary to figure out what is going on.

I don't know if there is a site that rewords Aquinas's points in a simple manner, and I really don't know if it is even possible to do that. The best you can really hope for is a commentary.

I'm currently reading a very short commentary on the life and works of Aquinas from the "Armchair Theologian" series.

So "Aquinas for Armchair Theologians" by Timothy M. Renick is worth a gander imoo.
