In Paul's letters to the Corinthian church, the pastoral issues of
a first-century Christian community stand out in bold relief. And
as the apostle responds to these challenges, 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 was long valued in the church, and
the comments of Theodoret of Cyr are notable for their sensitivity
to the intertextuality of Scripture. Then there are Origen and
Pelagius, whose notable errors need not obscure their brilliant
insights into Scripture. But pride of place in this volume goes to
the unknown fourth-century commentator now dubbed Ambrosiaster. His
excellent commentary on 1 and 2 Corinthians was previously
unavailable in English translation. This Ancient Christian
Commentary on Scripture volume 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.
