Thomas Aquinas, Super Evangelium S. Joannis Lectura, medieval exegesis, exegetical methods, John 21Abstract
The article has four scopes. Firstly, it aims at exposing focal principles ofAquinas’ exegesis. This will be shown against a background of medieval scholastic exegesis.
Secondly, Thomas Aquinas’ commentary on the Gospel of John will be shortly
presented. Thirdly, it will be shown, while analyzing the case study of chapter 21 of the
Gospel of John (just a few samples), how Thomas Aquinas applies his exegetical principles
in order to unfold the meaning of a biblical text. While doing that, the results of
Thomas’ exegesis on John 21 will be consulted with the contemporary exegetical status
quesionis.
