#E sword bible with apocrypha series#
"The conspectus of patristic exposition that this series offers has been badly needed for several centuries, and the whole Christian world should unite to thank IVP for undertaking to fill the gap. Colossians, 1-2 Thessalonians, 1-2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, ed. (2nd Ed.), Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, ed. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, ed.
1-2 Kings, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, ed. Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, ed. The ACCS also includes introductions by world-renowned patristics scholars, and biographical sketches of the ancient writers.ģ. Rendering the ancient Greek, Latin, Coptic and Syriac writings in a lucid English translation allows the living voices of the church in its formative centuries to speak as they engage the sacred page of Scripture. The ACCS includes commentary by the church fathers on all sixty-six books of the Bible and the Apocrypha, and covers the period from Clement of Rome (second century) to John of Damascus (mid-eighth century). 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. From these results, scholars with a deep knowledge of the fathers and a heart for the church have hand-selected material for each Bible book, shaping, annotating and introducing it to today's readers. The vast array of writings from the church fathers-including many that are available only in the ancient languages-have been combed for their comments on Scripture. The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture does what very few of today's students of the Bible could do for themselves. An unparalleled resource for Scriptural understanding, personal inspiration, and informed teaching and preaching - 29 print volumes!
