T&T Clark Handbook of Biblical Thomism

Aquinas was first and foremost a Magister in Sacra Pagina, and every aspect of his theology is deeply shaped by his engagement with the Scriptures. This superb collection of essays highlights this often-neglected key aspect of Aquinas's outlook. In both its range and its depth, it sets a new standard, not just for Biblical Thomism but also for our understanding of Aquinas's entire theology. I recommend it in the most enthusiastic of terms. * Rik Van Nieuwenhove, Durham University, UK. *
Levering, Roszak, and Vijgen have been among the most articulate and prolific proponents of Biblical Thomism. Their attention to the scriptural commentaries of St. Thomas Aquinas along with his theological methods and the contemplative aims of his theological project has contributed both to a deeper understanding of St. Thomas’ theology and scriptural exegesis and to a deeper understanding of his contributions to the theology and scriptural exegesis of today. This wide-ranging volume on Biblical Thomism, with contributions from eminent scholars from a wide range of disciplines and perspectives, is a significant contribution to the study of the theological and exegetical legacy of the Angelic Doctor. * Aaron Canty, Saint Xavier University, USA *
This inspiring volume is the first to provide a comprehensive reading of Aquinas’s biblical commentaries as an integral part of his speculative theology. Often overlooked by scholars, Aquinas’s exegesis is brought to the forefront and explored in all its complexity and originality through an in-depth analysis of its methodology, sources and substantial theological content. This is a valuable reference work for students and specialists wishing to rediscover Aquinas’s theology, as it develops in continuous dialogue with Scripture. * Marta Borgo, Leonine Commission, France *
