"This collection of scholarly essays engages historical, theological, and exegetical dimensions of St. Thomas Aquinass Commentary on Hebrews, treating such themes as Christs priesthood, sonship, and knowledge, the angels, grace, the Church as "city," the relationship of the Old and New Testaments, Hebrews use of the Psalms, Christs mercy and splendor, and the place of philosophy in Aquinass commentary. The contributors are notable Thomists and experts in medieval theology, including Serge-Thomas Bonino, O.P., John Boyle, Aaron Canty, Gilles Emery, O.P., Anthony Giambrone, O.P.

, Franklin T. Harkins, Matthew Levering, Ignacio Manresa, Piotr Roszak, Mary Catherine Sommers, Daria Spezzano, and Jörgen Vijgen. These essays belong to an approach that is known as "biblical Thomism," which pursues the retrieval of Aquinass biblical commentaries as well as his patristic sources as part of a constructive response to the Second Vatican Councils emphasis on Scripture as being the soul of sacred theology. Since 2005, edited volumes have been appearing on Aquinass biblical commentaries, including volumes on the Gospel of John, the Letter to the Romans, and the Book of Job. The intention of this newest volume is to make a contribution to the retrieval of Aquinass Commentary on Hebrews in a manner that is historically sensitive and that indicates theological paths along which Aquinass ongoing exegetical relevance may be appreciated"--.
