Catena Aurea, Vol. III (St. John)

The Golden Chain of St. Thomas Aquinas – Catholic Edition, Volume III completes this landmark series with St. Thomas’s Catena Aurea commentary on the Gospel of St. John. For the first time in English, this volume presents a fully Catholic edition, correcting the long-used Protestant translations by restoring Douay-Rheims Scripture, integrating in-text citations of the Fathers and Doctors, updating references (including online sources), and employing clear, modern typography.

Faithful to the English text approved by St. John Henry Newman in the 1842 edition—while correcting outdated spellings, formatting, and references - this volume rectifies the shortcomings of earlier versions that relied on the King James Bible and antiquated layouts. The result is a masterfully arranged, continuous patristic commentary that showcases St. Thomas Aquinas’s unparalleled theological insight and command of ecclesiastical tradition. An indispensable resource for Catholic Scripture study, theology, and devotion.
