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 cite passages from Isaiah 1-39, as
did many other fathers in defending the Christian faith from Jewish
critics. In this Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volume,
readers will find materials ranging from East to West and from the
first through the eighth centuries, some appearing here in English
translation for the first time. Within this treasure house are
riches to illumine the mind and fire the heart.
