As the first book-length study of the full breadth of Aquinas's \u003ci\u003eCommentary on the Gospel of John, \u003c\/i\u003e this work illuminates the way in which thinking systematically or speculatively about revelation flows from questions raised within biblical exegesis itself. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in \u003ci\u003eReading John with St. Thomas Aquinas\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ABOUT THE EDITORS: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Dauphinais is Associate Academic Dean and Assistant Professor of Theology at Ave Maria University.
