Catena Aurea - Gospel of Matthew

by Thomas Aquinas

Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274) was an Italian Dominican friar and the foremost scholastic theologian of the Middle Ages. Teaching at Paris and Naples, he sought to show faith and reason in harmony, drawing Aristotle into Christian theology. His Summa Theologiae and Summa Contra Gentiles — the latter partly represented here by Of God and His Creatures — and his Catena Aurea, a chain of patristic comments on the Gospels, are in our library.

About this book

Thomas Aquinas's 'Golden Chain' on the Gospel of Matthew, compiled in the thirteenth century at the request, tradition says, of Pope Urban IV. Aquinas gathers the comments of Greek and Latin Fathers into a continuous exposition, verse by verse. For centuries it has served preachers and readers as a treasury of early Christian interpretation of the first Gospel.
