Catena Aurea, 8 Volumes: Commentary on the Four Gospels, Collected out of the Works of the Fathers

Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) lived at a critical juncture of western culture when the arrival of the Aristotelian corpus in Latin translation reopened the question of the relation between faith and reason. This crisis flared up just as universities were being founded. Thomas, after early studies at Montecassino, moved on to the University of Naples, where he met members of the new Dominican order. When he joined the Dominican order he went north to study with Albertus Magnus, author of a paraphrase of the Aristotelian corpus. Thomas completed his studies at the University of Paris. His theological writings became regulative of the Catholic Church and his close textual commentaries on Aristotle represent a cultural resource which is now receiving increased recognition.Aquinas, Thomas is the author of 'Catena Aurea, 8 Volumes: Commentary on the Four Gospels, Collected out of the Works of the Fathers' with ISBN 9781597521925 and ISBN 1597521922.
