Christianity Today Book of the Year For the early church fathers,
certain passages in the shorter letters of St. Paul proved
particularly important in doctrinal disputes and practical church
matters. Pivotal in controversies with the Arians and the Gnostics,
the most commented-on christological text in these letters was
Colossians 1:15-20, where Jesus is declared "the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." The fathers found
ample support scattered throughout the Pastorals for the divinity
of the Son and the Spirit and for the full union of humanity and
divinity in the "one mediator between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). These commentators also looked to the
Pastorals for important teaching on ethics and church life. Chief
among the Eastern commentators and widely excerpted throughout this
volume is John Chrysostom, praised for his pastoral insight. Other
Greek commentators cited include Theodoret of Cyr, Theodore of
Mopsuestia, Severian of Gabala, Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr,
Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Athanasius, Basil the Great,
Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa. Western commentators
include Augustine, Ambrosiaster, Pelagius, Jerome, Hippolytus,
Tertullian, Novatian, Cyprian of Carthage, Hilary of Poitiers, and
Ambrose. Of particular interest for their ascetical and devotional
insight are works from Syrian and Egyptian churches, including
Aphrahat, Ephrem the Syrian, Isaac of Nineveh, and Philoxenus of
Mabbug. This Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volume 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.
