Rich in fact and firm in his observations, the genius of Aquinas’ commentary on a particular verse lies in the division of the text, where he actually sets every passage in context, or more often, in a set of grouped contexts. Aquinas categorically answers the fundamental question that the Gospel of John poses for us, which is, who Christ really is. Using the compelling evidence and eye-witness testimony of John, Aquinas reveals Christ’s shepherd-love for mankind and how He taught the disciples to love others in similar fashion. Challenging!
