For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government
will be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. For the
early church fathers the prophecy of Isaiah was not a compendium of
Jewish history or theology but an announcement of the coming
Messiah fulfilled in the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. As
such, the prophet's words were a rich source of theological
reflection concerning their Lord and a vital aid in their defense
against the objections of the Jews that Jesus was the promised
Messiah. The interpretation of Jesus' ministry in light of Isaiah's
prophecy was not a theological innovation on their part, but rather
a following of the path blazed by the New Testament writers and
Jesus himself. Among passage-by-passage commentaries cited here are
those by Eusebius of Caesarea, Jerome, Cyril of Alexandria and
Theodoret of Cyr, as well as one attributed to Basil of Caesarea.
John Chrysostom preached a series of homilies on Isaiah of which
most of those extant concern the first eight chapters, though
Chrysostom frequently cites Isaiah in numerous homilies on other
books. Augustine of Hippo, Gregory the Great and Bede the Venerable
frequently cited passages from Isaiah 1--39 as did many other
fathers in defending the Christian faith from Jewish critics.
Edited by Steven A. McKinion, this volume of the Ancient Christian
Commentary on Scripture offers readers access to materials ranging
from East to West and from the first through the eighth centuries,
some appearing in English translation for the first time. Within
this treasure house are riches to illumine the mind and fire the
heart.
