'Catena Aurea (Gospel of St. Luke - Part 1)' Summary
The *Catena Aurea* (Golden Chain), literally meaning "golden chain," is a monumental work of biblical interpretation compiled by Saint Thomas Aquinas. It focuses on the Gospel of Luke and presents a chain of commentary, like a golden chain, woven from the writings of prominent early Church Fathers. Aquinas brings together the insights of figures like Saint John Chrysostom, Saint Jerome, and Saint Augustine, creating a rich tapestry of interpretation for each verse. The work, commissioned by Pope Urban IV, aimed to provide a clear understanding of the Gospel based on the teachings of the Church's earliest theologians. The *Catena Aurea* provides a valuable resource for anyone seeking to delve deeper into the Gospel of Luke, offering a historical and theological context through the eyes of some of Christianity's most influential thinkers.Book Details
