"Few publishing projects have encouraged me as much as IVP's
recently announced Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture with
Dr. Thomas Oden serving as general editor. . . . How is it that so
many of us who are dedicated to serve the Lord receive seminary
educations which omitted familiarity with such incredible students
of the Scriptures as St. John Chrysostom, St. Anathasius the Great
and St. John of Damascus? I am greatly anticipating the publication
of this commentary."--Fr. Peter E. Gillquist, Director, Department
of Missions and Evangelism, Antiochian Orthodox Christian
Archdiocese of North America
"Chronological snobbery--the assumption that our ancestors working
without benefit of computers have nothing to teach us--is exposed
as nonsense by this magnificent new series. Surfeited with
knowledge but starved of wisdom, many of us are more than ready to
sit at table with our ancestors and listen to their holy
conversations on Scripture. I know I am."--Eugene H. Peterson,
James Houston Professor of Spiritual Theology, Regent College
"The Ancient Christian Commentary project fills a long overdue need
for scholars and students of the church fathers. Professor Oden has
pulled together a sterling team of scholars to provide for all of
us fresh translations of the Latin and Greek texts of the fathers
relating to their interpretation of the Bible and Apocrypha. Such
information will prove immeasurable to those of us who have felt
inundated by contemporary interpreters and novel theories of the
biblical text. We welcome some new insight from the ancient authors
in the early centuries of the church. Many thanks to Thomas Oden
and the other editors for this unparalleled work which will be the
standard for generations."--H. Wayne House, Professor of Biblical
and Systematic Theology, Michigan Theological Seminary
"The Scriptures have been read with love and attention for nearly
two thousand years, and listening to the voice of believers from
previous centuries opens us to unexpected insight and deepened
faith. Those who studied Scripture in the centuries closest to its
writing, the centuries during and following persecution and
martyrdom, speak with particular authority. The Ancient Christian
Commentary on Scripture will bring to life the truth that we are
invisibly surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses."--Frederica
Mathewes-Green, Commentator, National Public Radio
"We are pleased to witness publication of the Ancient Christian
Commentary on Scripture series. It is most beneficial for us to
learn how the ancient Christians, especially the saints of the
church who proved through their lives their devotion to God and his
Word, interpreted Scripture. Let us heed the witness of those who
have gone before us in the faith."--Metropolitan Theodosius,
Primate, Orthodox Church in America
