The Evangelical "Ressourcement" series is grounded in the belief
that there is a wealth of theological, exegetical, and spiritual
resources from the patristic era that is relevant for the Christian
church today and into the future. Amid the current resurgence in
interest in the early church, this series aims to help church
thinkers and leaders reappropriate these ancient understandings of
Christian belief and practice and apply them to ministry in the
twenty-first century. "Reading the Old Testament with the Ancient
Church" is the fourth volume in the series. The series editor is D.
H. Williams.
"Ron Heine has written this book for a wide variety of readers:
pastors, New Testament and patristics scholars, and general lay
readers. This is a very helpful introduction to the ways the
ancient Christian writers viewed the Scriptures. Heine comes to the
subject with a significant grasp of both primary sources and
contemporary scholarship. The argument is illuminating and
inspiring." --Thomas C. Oden, general editor, "Ancient Christian
Commentary on Scripture"
"Heine's overview of the uses of and attitudes toward Jewish
Scripture in the ancient church is offered as a corrective to a
very common neglect of and lack of appreciation for this topic
among lay and leadership audiences in evangelical churches. His
lucid prose is eminently readable and his concise summaries include
a wide array of authors from Christian late antiquity. This handy
volume seems well designed for its audience, who will benefit
greatly from Heine's scholarship on this topic." --Michael A.
Williams, University of Washington
"This book fills a gap in the history of biblical
interpretation. The work is comprehensive inscope, yet it provides
carefully crafted, succinct treatments of major patristic writers
that reflect close, informed reading of the primary sources. Only
someone who has lived with these patristic authors and pored over
their writings could produce such a lively, sympathetic treatment.
Both specialist and nonspecialist readers will benefit from this
richly detailed exposition." --Carl R. Holladay, Candler School of
Theology
"Ronald Heine brings together two contemporary interests:
renewed attention to the Old Testament as Christian Scripture and
rediscovery of the church fathers. He offers the reading of the Old
Testament with the church fathers as guidance for the contemporary
church's use of the whole Bible. The early church's example is a
call to do more than understand the text; it is a call to live in
and to mold life by the text. I recommend this excellent book to a
wide readership." --Everett Ferguson, Abilene Christian
