Summa Contra Gentiles is one of the two great works of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the greatest of the Scholastics.

The other one is the Summa Theologica ... a work that some of you that went to Catholic schools may be familiar with.

The Summa is online at www.newadvent.org/summa ... to my knowledge, there isnt an online copy of SCG.

Aquinas was - and in my opinion still is - the pre-eminent Catholic theogian. If you've got a persona that would even be vaguely interested in such things, a brief look at the Summa on topics like Just War and Tournaments (at http://www.newadvent.org/summa/304001.htm) is probably in order.

Anyone interested in Knighthood could do worse than have a look through the Second Part of the Second Part of the Summa, and see what Aquinas had to say about various virtues and vices.
