Synopsis:

Although Thomas Aquinas's influence over philosophy endures to this day, the medieval genius did not consider himself a philosopher, but a Scripture scholar. The Aquinas Institute's hardcover Latin-English editions of Aquinas's commentaries on the Letters of St. Paul make many of these commentaries available in English for the first time.The bilingual format makes the work of this intellectual giant accessible to a broader audience than ever before in history. Aquinas's commentaries on the Pauline letters is a great gift for pastors, seminarians, or anyone who seeks a deeper intellectual reflection on Scripture.

About the Author: 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)
