The Acts of the Apostles-or more in keeping with the author's
intent, the Acts of the Ascended Lord-is part two of Luke's story
of "all that Jesus began to do and teach." In it he recounts the
expansion of the church as its witness spread from Jerusalem to all
of Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. While at least
forty early church authors commented on Acts, the works of only
three survive in their entirety-John Chrysostom's Homilies on the
Acts of the Apostles, Bede the Venerable's Commentary on the Acts
of the Apostles and a long Latin epic poem by Arator. In this
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volume, substantial
selections from the first two of these appear with occasional
excerpts from Arator alongside many excerpts from the fragments
preserved in J. A. Cramer's Catena in Acta SS. Apostolorum. Among
the latter we find selections from Basil the Great, Gregory of
Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, Ephrem the Syrian, Didymus the Blind,
Athanasius, Jerome, John Cassian, Augustine, Ambrose, Justin
Martyr, Irenaeus, Theodoret of Cyr, Origen, Cyril of Jerusalem,
Cyril of Alexandria, Cassiodorus, and Hilary of Poitiers, some of
which are here translated into English for the first time. As
readers, we find these early authors transmit life to us because
their faith brought them into living and experiential contact with
the realities spoken of in the sacred text.
