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.

Notes on text:

The Latin text used in this volume is based on the Marietti edition 1951), with the missing texts of Matthew 5:11-6:8 and 6:14-19 taken from the texts found by the Leonine Commission. The English translation was prepared by Jeremy Holmes and Beth Mortensen.
