lii, 204 pages ; 26 cm. "The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture does what very few of today's students of the Bible could do for themselves. With the aid of computer technology, the vast array of writings from the church fathers - including much that is available only in the ancient languages - have been combed for their comment on Scripture. From these results, scholars with a deep knowledge of the fathers and a heart for the church have hand-selected material for each volume, shaping, annotating and introducing it to today's readers. Each portion of commentary has been chosen for its salient insight, its rhetorical power and its faithful representation of the consensual exegesis of the early church." "The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture is a postcritical revival of the early commentary tradition known as the glossa ordinaria, a text artfully elaborated with ancient and authoritative reflections and insights. An uncommon companion for theological interpretation, spiritual reading, and wholesome teaching and preaching."--Jacket General Introduction -- A Guide to Using this Commentary -- Abbreviations -- Introduction to Genesis 1-11 -- Commentary -- Appendix: early Christian Writers and the Documents Cited -- Chronology -- Biographical Sketches -- Bibliography -- Authors/Writings Index -- Subject Index -- Scripture Index edited by Andrew Louth, in collaboration with Marco Conti ; general editor, Thomas C.
