Abstract

Aquinas is, perhaps, best known for his Summa Theologica and his Summa Contra Gentiles. But he didn't think of these as his most important works. Rather, he thought his commentaries on Scripture held that place of honour.

In this workshop, we return to this Thomistic tradition where philosophers offer exegeses of salient passages of Scripture, and our focus will be on Gospels so that we might uncover and interrogate philosophically significant aspects of the narratives of Jesus's life, death and resurrection.
