Description
St. Thomas Aquinas' Catena Aurea or "golden chain" is a rich anthology of Patristic commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, including quotes from over fifty Church Fathers. Catena Aurea is structured by presenting each verse to be analyzed followed by commentary from the Church Fathers in a condensed form.
During the 13th century when this work was compiled there was a renewed interest in going back to the original interpretation and many of the works of the Eastern Fathers were translated from Greek to Latin.
St. Thomas Aquinas was given the task to write the Catena Aurea by Pope Urban IV, so that a commentary on the Gospels be available to all readers. John Henry Newman first translated the work into English in 1841.
This ebook form of the work is linked to the World English Bible and provides sketches of the lives of the major Church fathers used in the book.
