Commentary on the Gospel of John 9-21

Although Thomas Aquinas's influence over philosophy endures to this day, the medieval genius did not consider himself a philosopher, but a Scripture scholar. For the first time in history the Aquinas Institute is making Aquinas's commentaries on the Gospel of John and the Gospel of Matthew available in hardcover Latin-English editions. The bilingual format, which also features excerpts from the Gospel in Greek, Latin, and English, makes the work of this intellectual giant accessible to a wider audience than ever before. Aquinas's commentaries on the Gospels are a great gift for pastors, seminarians, and anyone who seeks a deeper intellectual reflection on the Gospels.

“"This work is St. Thomas' own words on the meaning of the scripture. He does draw on the early fathers and quotes them regularly, but here he also include a deep theological explanation of the texts. This is the first time these commentaries have been translated and published in English. I've had the Maretti Latin publications of this work for years; but honestly, now it is so much easier to have the English translation." - Amazon Review”

An intellectual giant of the 13th century, Thomas Aquinas is best known for the clarity of thought in his philosophical and theological writings. His primary occupation at the University of Paris was as a theologian and a commentator on Sacred Scripture, and his philosophical work was always at the service of his Scriptural meditations. The writings of Thomas Aquinas remain widely influential to this day. "In his thinking, the demands of reason and the power of faith found the most elevated synthesis ever attained by human thought." (John Paul II, Fides et Ratio)
