Into Theology 64: Thomas Aquinas on Scripture’s Meaning (ST I.Q1)

Into Theology

In this episode, Ian Clary and Wyatt Graham continue discussing Thomas Aquinas's view of Holy Scripture. They discuss his view of the four senses of Scripture: literal, allegorical, tropological, and anagogical. Thomas makes a (perhaps surprisingly) clear argument for the importance of the literal sense, and a way of grasping the spiritual sense of Scripture that neither negates nor destroys the literal sense.
