Distinctive in form, content, and style, the epistle to the Hebrews
offers a profound high Christology and makes an awe-inspiring
contribution to our understanding of Jesus as our High Priest. The
earliest extant commentary on the letter comes to us in thirty-four
homilies from John Chrysostom. These homilies serve to anchor the
excerpts chosen by the editors of this volume because of their
unique place in the history of interpretation. In addition to being
the first comprehensive commentary on the letter, they deeply
influenced subsequent interpretation in both the East and the West,
and their rhetorical eloquence has long been acknowledged. As in
other Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volumes, the
excerpts chosen range widely over geography and time, from Justin
Martyr and Clement of Rome in the late first and early second
century to Bede the Venerable, Isaac of Nineveh, Photius, and John
of Damascus in the eighth and ninth centuries. The Alexandrian
tradition is well represented in Clement of Alexandria, Origen,
Athanasius, Didymus, and Cyril of Alexandria, while the Antiochene
tradition is represented in Ephrem the Syrian, Theodore of
Mopsuestia, Severian of Gabala, and Theodoret of Cyr. Italy and
North Africa in the West are represented by Ambrose, Cassiodorus,
and Augustine, while Constantinople, Asia Minor and Jerusalem in
the East are represented by the Great Cappadocians-Basil the Great,
Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa-Eusebius, Cyril of
Jerusalem, and Jerome. This volume offers a rich treasure of
ancient wisdom from Hebrews for the enrichment of the church today.
