The church fathers, as they did in earlier books dealing with
Israel's history from the time of Joshua to the united monarchy,
found ample material for typological and moral interpretation in
1-2 Kings, 1-2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther. It will be
immediately clear to readers of this volume that they gave much
more attention to 1-2 Kings than to others; whether this was due to
a certain repetitiveness in the story line or other reasons is
unclear. But the narratives of wise King Solomon, the construction
of the temple, the prophets Elijah and Elisha, and the fates of
various faithful and unfaithful kings and other powerful people
were well suited to their purposes. Among Greek commentators in
this Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volume, readers will
find Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Methodius,
Eusebius of Caesarea, Athanasius, Cyril of Jerusalem, Basil the
Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, John Chrysostom, Cyril of Alexandria,
Theodoret of Cyr, Procopius of Gaza and John the Monk. Among Latin
commentators are Tertullian, Cyprian, Novatian, Lactantius,
Ambrose, Jerome, Prudentius, Augustine, Paulinus of Nola, John
Cassian, Peter Chrysologus, Maximus of Turin, Salvian the
Presbyter, Fulgentius of Ruspe, Caesarius of Arles, Gregory the
Great, Bede and Rabanus Maurus. Syriac commentators include
Aphrahat, Ephrem, Sahdona, Isaac of Nineveh and Isho'dad of Merv.
Together they set before readers a table of delights and
theological insights, some of which are here available to English
readers for the first time.
