    • I'd like to read the Epistles, but I find them daunting. What are your suggestions for a good commentary on them, specifically? I have the Haydock and the Catena Aurea. Are there others?

    Check out Jesuit priest Cornelius a Lapide's commentaries on Scripture. Many Catholics say it's the best ever.

    Which epistles, specifically?
    Allo, O.P.'s or Cdl. MacRory's on Corinthians are the best.
    VosteĢ, O.P. on Ephesians.
    MacEvilly's on St. Paul and Catholic Epistles.

    The Catena Aurea deals primarily with the Gospels.

    Here is a link to Aquinas on the Pauline Epistles:

    • IMG_6713.HEIC  We also have St. Thomas' Commentary on the Epistles by the Aquinas Institute, Green Bay, WI.  They give the Latin/English side-by-side which is nice so I can check the Latin. It is a multi-volume set, but they are nice hardbound, blue volumes.
