What reading level is The "summa Theologica" of St. Thomas Aquinas V.3:7 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Now the more perfect a thing is in being, the more perfectly is it able to operate : wherefore the operation of the soul united to such a body will be more perfect than the operation of the separated soul. But the glorified body will be a body of this description, being altogether subject to the spirit. Therefore, since beatitude consists in an opera- tion,* the soul's happiness after its reunion with the body will be more perfect than before. For just as the soul separated from a corruptible b...ody is able to operate more perfectly than when united thereto, so after it has been united to a glorified body, its operation will be more perfect than while it was separated. Now every imperfect thing desires its perfection. Hence the separated soul naturally desires reunion with the body, and on account of this desire which proceeds from the soul's imperfection, its operation whereby it is borne towards God is less intense. This agrees with the saying of Augustine (Gen. ad Lit. xii. 35) that on account of the body's desire it is held back from tending with all its might to that sovereign good.
