superiority of Sacred Scripture over philosophy

"The dignity, usefulness, and majesty of Scripture are so great that is surpasses the books of all philosophers and theologians, both Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, as much as Divine surpasses human wisdom. For Scripture is the Word of God. It is the very utterance of God, by means of which God enunciates His wisdom to us, and points out to us the way to virtue, health, and eternal happiness."

from The Great Commentary by Cornelius a Lapide
