Bible Commentaries

"The task (of this series) is straightforward: to introduce full-length translations of key texts of early Christian teaching, homilies and commentaries on a particular book of Scripture. These are seminal documents that have decisively shaped the entire subsequent history of biblical exegesis, but in our time have been largely ignored."

(General Introduction)

This series "has three goals: (1) the renewal of Christian preaching based on classical Christian exegesis, (2) the intensified study of Scripture by lay persons who wish to think with the early church about the canonical text, and (3) the stimulation of Christian historical, biblical, theological and pastoral scholarship toward further inquiry into the scriptural interpretations of the ancient Christian writers." (General Introduction)

This series is "designed to present the Holy Scriptures as understood and interpreted during the first millennium of Christian history." (series preface)

"We share the vision with brothers Gary W. Long and Terry Wolever of the (Particular Baptist) Press in making available to our generation these writings of Particular Baptists of the past."

(Don Preusch, Preface)

"The major intent of this series...is to place newly translated medieval scriptural commentary into the hands of contemporary readers. In doing so, the series reacquaints the Church with its rich tradition of biblical interpretation. It fosters academic study, spiritual formation, preaching, discussion groups, and individual reflection. It also enables contemporary application of this tradition." (Editor's preface, from The Letter to the Galatians, ix)
