The rich tapestry of the creation narrative in the early chapters
of Genesis proved irresistible to the thoughtful, reflective minds
of the church fathers. Within them they found the beginning threads
from which to weave a theology of creation, Fall, and redemption.
Following their mentor the apostle Paul, they explored the profound
significance of Adam as a type of Christ, the second Adam. The six
days of creation proved especially attractive among the fathers as
a subject for commentary, with Basil the Great and Ambrose
producing well-known Hexaemerons. Similarly, Augustine devoted
portions of five works to the first chapter of Genesis. As in
previous volumes within the Ancient Christian Commentary on
Scripture, the range of comment contained in this volume spans from
the first century to the eighth and from East to West, from Greek
and Latin speakers to Syriac. This ACCS volume on Genesis 1-11
opens up a treasure house of ancient wisdom that allows these
faithful witnesses, some appearing here in English translation for
the first time, to speak with eloquence and intellectual acumen to
the church today. Especially helpful is the volume editor's
provision of Septuagintal alternative readings to the Masoretic
text, which are often necessary to understanding the fathers' flow
of thought.
