Commentary on the Gospel of St. Matthew

The Commentary on the Gospel According to St. Matthew is a translation of Saint Thomas Aquinas' lectures on the Gospel of Saint Matthew given in Paris in approximately the year 1270. This is the first ever translation into English of this major work of the Angelic Doctor. It will be a useful commentary for Catholics and non-Catholics, but especially as an aid for preaching sermons. Numerous explanations and cross references to other works of St. Thomas are given in the text. St. Thomas is a master of Scripture and the Church Fathers, which are continuously interwoven in this simple but profoundly enlightening text.
