What is Reddit's opinion of A Summa of the Summa?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I think most people with a high school education can handle reading straight from St. Thomas. I highly recommend Peter Kreeft's abridged and well-annotated version Summa of the Summa. He has a gift for making the more difficult ideas of Aquinas easier to understand.

A podcast geared towards Aquinas without being too technical is Pints with Aquinas by Matt Fradd.

I read Peter Kreeft's Summa of the Summa. It's literally the philosophical part of the Summa, but Dr. Kreeft edited out of it objections, articles, etc. that have little to no relevance today--so it's only about 500 pages long instead of the full length monster that it is. Also, Dr. Kreeft filled it with comments (in the form of footnotes) to the brim, actually quite helpful when getting through the heavy handed stuff.

Peter Kreeft has two books that sound like what you’re looking for:

You are welcome! Here is the link to the one I read because the originals are difficult to jump right into.

Maybe with start with the "Summa of the Summa" by Kreeft:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/089870300X/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_XpLpCb8GEVP7F

Otherwise its difficult to know where to start with the whole summa.

The Summa Theologica is not a good place to start. You're better off getting the Summa of the Summa.
