Excerpt from Inspiration The Providentissimus Deus of Leo XIII. directs attention to the work of the earliest Fatners of the Church in the exposition of Holy Scripture, beginning with immediate disciples of the Apostles, St Clement of Rome, Sr. Ignatius of Antioch, and including such famous names as Cyril, Chrysostom, Origen, Augustine, Jerome. The authority of these early Fathers is pre-eminent, not only for their learning but for their sanctity, which suggests that they may possess a divine illumination. We are also to perceive that "a new and more abundant (laetiora) growth" belonged to the Scholastics of seven centuries later, and to St Thomas of Aquinum beyond all. The work the Scholastics inaugurated was of a special character. Distinction of the meanings of words, their precise theological significance, the design of the sacred writer, the connection of his argument, were matters considered and explained.
