By “summarize,” do you mean “show excerpts of”? If so, you can make your theme do this fairly easily.
Edit your theme’s home.php file, or if it doesn’t exist, copy your theme’s index.php as home.php and edit home.php using a text editor. Find and replace the_content( with the_excerpt(, and you will be all set.

There are also several excerpt plugins available with the advantage that you don’t have to edit files and change them back if you decide to do things another way AND you can make excerpts longer or shorter than 35 words (which includes html). I use advance excerpt myself.
Of course you can also just use the more tag when you are wriging a post.
