Commentary on the Four Gospels: Volume I Part 1 Gospel of St. Matthew

In the 13th century, Pope Urban IV commissioned Saint Thomas Aquinas to compile a commentary on the Gospels, aiming to familiarize scholars with the early Christian ideas. The result was the Catena Aurea, also known as the "Golden Chain." This extensive eight-volume collection delves into the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, offering readers a deeper understanding of how the first Christians interpreted Scripture. The Catena presents each Gospel chapter and verse alongside relevant Biblical passages, incorporating critical analyses from influential Church figures like Augustine and the Venerable Bede.

For those studying religion, seminarians, and clergy, the Catena Aurea is a timeless Catholic scholarly work that serves as a valuable and accessible reference. Volume I, Part I: St. Matthew features "The Gospel According to Saint Matthew," covering Chapters 1-10. Additionally, this volume includes a preface to the series by translator JOHN HENRY NEWMAN (1801-890).
