My Impressions of the Living Word of God are the result of writing
messages of salvation for a number of years. As I do not pay much
attention to personal opinion, I have been extremely careful to not
add or subtract any of God's Word, nor to manipulate any of its
content. My heart is heavy for the lost and my compassion is
expressed in conveying His Living Word in simple and understandable
terms. Enjoy.

Paul's letters to the Corinthian church have left a mark on
Christian Scripture in a way that could never have been predicted.
Here the pastoral issues of a first-century Christian community in
what Chrysostom identified as "still the first city in Greece"
stand out in bold relief. How was a community shaped by the cross
to find its expression in a city that Chrysostom knew to be "full
of orators and philosophers" and that "prided itself . . . above
all on its great wealth"? How was church unity to be maintained in
a setting where prominent believers, bending truth and morality to
their own advantage, divided the body of Christ? Here lay the
challenge for the apostle Paul. And as the apostle writes, the
fathers lean over his shoulder, marveling and commenting on his
pastoral wisdom. Best known among these patristic commentators is
Chrysostom, whose seventy-seven homilies on the two Corinthian
epistles are a treasury of exposition and application. The
fragmentary works of Didymus the Blind and Severian of Gabala give
us samples of Greek exegesis from the Alexandrian and Antiochene
schools. The partial work of Theodore of Mopsuestia, a commentator
of great skill and insight, was long valued in the church. And the
comments of Theodoret of Cyrus are notable for their sensitivity to
the intertextuality of Scripture. Then there are Origen and
Pelagius, whose names resonate with notable error, to the needless
obscuring of their brilliant insights into Scripture. But pride of
place goes to the unknown fourth-century commentator long mistaken
for Ambrose and now dubbed "Ambrosiaster." His excellent commentary
on 1 and 2 Corinthians has been unavailable in English translation,
and for that reason it is excerpted more generously in this volume.
This Ancient Christian Commentary on 1-2 Corinthians opens a whole
new way of reading these New Testament texts. The pastoral and
theological interpretation of the fathers offers spiritual and
intellectual sustenance to those who would read Paul again with
open minds and hearts. Here we find the Pauline wisdom of the cross
generating an effective heritage of Christian interpretation.
