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.
