    The Message of Chronicles

    The Bible Speaks Today Series

    by Michael Wilcock

    Michael Wilcock sees Chronicles first and foremost as a sermon. Its object: to foster a right relationship between God and his people. The Chronicler finds in the records of Israel the great overall pattern of God's hand in history. The Lord's constant mercy, love, and faithfulness shine through. With great perception, the Chronicler first selects and then proclaims this vibrant ...

    Commentaries on Galatians--Philemon

    Ancient Christian Texts

    by Ambrosiaster
    Edited and Translated by Gerald Bray

    Ambrosiaster ("Star of Ambrose") is the name given to the anonymous author of the earliest complete Latin commentary on the thirteen epistles of Paul. The commentaries were thought to have been written by Ambrose throughout the Middle Ages, but their authorship was challenged by Erasmus, whose arguments have proved decisive.

    The commentaries, which serve as important witnesses to pre-Vulgate ...

    From its inception the church has always had a Bible—the Jewish Scriptures. But Christians have not read these Scriptures in the same way the Jews did. They have read them in the light of what God did in Jesus the Christ. Thus theJewish Scriptures became for Christian readers the Old Testament.

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Arthur Just
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    For the church fathers the Gospels did not serve as resources for individual analysis and academic study. They were read and heard and interpreted within the worshiping community. They served as sources for pastoral counsel and admonition for those who were committed to the Way. Although Matthew and John were generally the preferred Gospels, Luke, because of his particular interests and unique contributions, ...

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Marco Conti
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    The church fathers, as they did in earlier books dealing with Israel's history from the time of Joshua to the united monarchy, found ample material for typological and moral interpretation in 1-2 Kings, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther. It will be immediately clear to readers of this volume that they gave much more attention to 1-2 Kings than to others; whether this was ...

    Typical translations of the New Testament make the biblical text as accessible as possible by using the language of our own day. At times this masks thedistance between the New Testament text and modern readers. Scripture continues to speak to us but it speaks as an ancient text to the modern world.

    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Mark Sheridan

    Genesis 12–50 recounts the history of the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. From their mentors Paul, Peter, Stephen, and the author of the letter to the Hebrews, the early fathers learned to draw out the spiritual significance of the patriarchal narrative for Christian believers. The Alexandrian school especially followed Paul's allegorical use of the story of Sarah ...
