Abstract

The author discusses the reasons for his interest in the role of Scripture in the theology of Saint Thomas Aquinas, even if his academic teaching and research in different contexts led him to focus on different topics. He shows the relevance of this Scriptural and Thomistic theology. The author demonstrates how Aquinas’s focus on the mysteries of the life of Christ enabled him to teach a course that analyses musical and theological interpretations of these mysteries, even by non-Christian artists. Another course on theological interpretations of Scripture brought together theological and exegetical viewpoints in order to highlight the unity of Catholic theology with Scripture as its soul. Finally, the author gives an analysis of the Christological interpretation of the Psalms, and argues that how Aquinas in his commentary on the Psalms juxtaposes different forms of interpretation in order to show the fullness of the Word of God inspired by the Spirit that encompasses the different mysteries of the Christian faith.
