'Summa Theologica' is necessary reading for Catholics and non-catholics alike to understand the Theology of the Catholic Church. In contrast to Calvin, who came nearly half a millenia later, Aquinas upholds the meaning and validity of seven Sacraments, and explores numerous other issues of global impact still hotly debated today, such as the existance of God, the nature of Laws and others.

Institutes of the Christian Religion: "The definitive edition in 1559, was intended as a theological introduction to the Bible and a vindication of the principles of the Reformation." Necessary reading for Protestants and Catholics alike to understand the nature of anti-Catholic Reformist thought which affect domestic and international relations today. The issues raised are honest and expose some of the abuses throughout Catholic history, but also are believed by some as already answered by St. Thomas Aquinas centuries before in the more positive sense of God's plan.
