Product Description
•••••
Thomas Aquinas’s Old Testament commentaries remain some of his most
neglected writings due partly to the widely varying quality of both the
commentaries themselves and their English translations, which often
retain the terseness and opacity of the original Latin manuscripts.
Nevertheless, Thomas’s corpus of Old Testament commentaries contains
some of his finest biblical exegesis and theology. Within them, we find
dimensions of his thought and literary personality that do not appear in
any of his other writings.
This volume aims to promote appreciation for Thomas’s Old Testament exegesis by making his best commentaries more accessible. To this end, it offers a topically organized selection of the most theologically profound lectures from his premier Old Testament commentaries—those on the Psalms, Job, and Isaiah. Moreover, the translations used in this collection have undergone extensive editing and revision to enhance their accuracy, elegance, clarity, stylistic consistency, and overall readability. Lastly, hundreds of explanatory footnotes have been added to facilitate study, along with two indices and a bibliography.
