Reviews

"This volume continues the valuable exploration of patristic interpretation."
*Mark Bilby, Religious Studies Review, September 2009*

"A 'must' for all theological libraries."
*International Review of Biblical Studies, Vol. 55, 2008-2009*

"A wealth of information for the classic Bible scholar."
*Ravonne A. Green, American Reference Books Annual, 2006, Volume 37*

"Contemporary Christians would do well to draw the hermeneutical circle broadly enough to include not only cross-cultural voices from around the world but also the voices to be found in the Ancient Christian Commentary series. This is an excellent sermon-preparation resource for pastors."
*Christian Century, May 2, 2006*
