Catena Aurea - Gospel of Mark - Enhanced Version

Catena Aurea, also known as the "Golden Chain," is a unique type of biblical commentary that consists of fragments from other existing commentaries. In Aquinas' Gospel of Matthew, you can find the teachings of notable figures such as St. Augustine, St. Cyril of Alexandria, St. Ambrose, The Venerable St. Bede, and other Church Fathers. Aquinas skillfully brings together the biblical reflections of these historical giants chapter by chapter to form a cohesive commentary on the Book of Matthew.

Commissioned by Pope Urban IV, this eight-volume set was created with the hope of providing the Church with a deeper understanding of early Christian faith. Aquinas' commentaries serve as valuable resources for biblical study due to the wealth of references they contain.

This particular edition of Catena Aurea boasts an artistic cover, a new promotional introduction, an index of scripture references, links to appropriate passages for scripture references, and a hierarchical table of contents that allows for easy navigation throughout the book with minimal page-turning.
