Written by leading experts on Aquinas's theology, the essays in
Reading John with St. Thomas Aquinas bear common witness to a
central theological conviction: the tasks of biblical exegesis and
speculative theology, though distinct, indwell and inform each
other. As the first book-length study of the full breadth of
Aquinas's Commentary on the Gospel of John, this work illuminates
the way in which thinking systematically or speculatively about
revelation flows from questions raised within biblical exegesis
itself.
Like any medieval biblical commentator, Aquinas attempts to
understand a biblical text not only in itself but also by appealing
to parallel interpretive texts drawn from throughout the Bible as
well as the accumulated insights of the Church Fathers. This method
enables him to penetrate deeply into the thought of the Bible,
recognizing that the biblical authors, speaking from within the
context of Israel and the Church, raise questions that are
theological and that belong to coherent speculative theological
frameworks. The result is, in large part, a speculative theological
commentary that is not imposed on the biblical texts but emerges
from it.
The essays in Reading John with St. Thomas Aquinas seek to
illumine the necessary conjunction of the inspired words of
Scripture, exegetical commentary, and theological analysis. The
volume is both a study of Aquinas's thought and an attempt to
foster contemporary exegetical approaches that emphasize the need
to interpret Scripture speculatively, through the historical lens
of tradition.
