- W3136298259 abstract "Introduction to the Nova et Vetera Symposium Containing Papers from the International Conference on Studying Sacred Scripture with Thomas Aquinas, Blackfriars, Oxford, June 1, 2019 Richard Conrad O.P. Most of the papers in this issue of Nova et Vetera were delivered at an international conference on biblical Thomism hosted by the Aquinas Institute of Blackfriars Hall, Oxford, on June 1, 2019, and organized by Father Piotr Roszak of the Faculty of Theology of Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. The Research Center for Biblical Thomism was created there in 2016. One of its aims is to provide Polish readers with translations and explanations of Saint Thomas's commentaries on the Corpus Paulinum, but its remit is much wider: its members seek to offer a fresh perspective on Saint Thomas's biblical commentaries and to make explicit the biblical theology that is implicit in his major theological works. The Research Center examines the sources of Saint Thomas's biblical thought, including the Church Fathers and the medieval masters of theology, and brings his approach into conversation with contemporary biblical research and exegesis. The Aquinas Institute was delighted to be able to host this conference and so in a small way support the Research Center's project. By way of an introduction to this collection, I offer some remarks on how fostering awareness of Saint Thomas's interest in and use of Scripture may help us know him better, and enrich our own appreciation of Scripture. Awareness of St Thomas's engagement with Scripture has grown over the last couple of decades. Already in the 1960s, Magi Books had made English translations of some of his scriptural commentaries available, and Saint Austin Press reissued Newman's translation of the Catena aurea in 1997. Works discussing Saint Thomas's use of Scripture include: Thomas Ryan's [End Page 191] 2000 Thomas Aquinas as Reader of the Psalms; Wilhelmus Valkenberg's 2000 Words of the Living God: Place and Function of Holy Scripture in the Theology of St. Thomas Aquinas; and Michael Dauphinais's and Matthew Levering's 2005 edited volume Reading John with St. Thomas Aquinas. The work of the Research Center for Biblical Thomism contributes to the ongoing investigation of this aspect of Saint Thomas's ministry. Nevertheless, I suspect that many students of theology, and even professional theologians, still know Saint Thomas as a systematic theologian who synthesized Aristotle's thought with the Christian doctrinal tradition. Philosophers, very properly, regularly engage with Saint Thomas, and many scholars are aware of his role in the history of ethics and even of legal and political thought. But not many people know that he—as a typical thirteenth-century master of theology—spent a large part of his teaching time lecturing on Sacred Scripture. Indeed, not many people are aware how deeply Scripture pervaded the medieval Christian mind, as witnessed for example by the thirteenth-century Bible moralisée, and by the fourteenth- and fifteenth-century editions of the Biblia pauperum. Even those who do know this may subconsciously perceive Saint Thomas's biblical commentaries as a side line; it is easy to see his Summa theologiae as his characteristic work, and as drawing on Fathers like Augustine and Pseudo-Dionysius, assisted by Aristotle and other philosophers, while Scripture provides proof texts as pegs on which to hang arguments, or even decorative quotations. At the beginning of the Summa, Saint Thomas makes clear that his subject is sacra doctrina, which I take to be the whole project of exploring, and handing on the saving truth that was revealed in Sacred Scripture1 and is to be pondered and handed on in the Church for as long as human souls animate mortal bodies. While time lasts, we need what can be likened to the straw that provides food and bedding for animals; we press forward in the hope of graduating to the children's meat of the Beatific Vision. Saint Thomas's stated policy leads us to expect the Summa to be deeply scriptural. But the Prologue tells us this first degree course in theology was intended to replace an existing system in which new students would jump onto the carousel of the program..." @default.
