The announcement of InterVarsity’s series Ancient Christian Texts, to complement the highly successful Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, is good news, in the richest sense of that term. The burst of renewed interest in the way the fathers of the church read, preached and prayed the Scriptures is a blessing for the church and for scholars. The projected volumes of Ancient Christian Texts represent an excellent selection of patristic exegetical works, some of which will be available for the first time in English. This undertaking will be a great service to all who love the Bible.

It's great having the translated version instead of one doing the actual translation. This collection gives one an awesome perspective of the text through a new lens of enlightenment.

What were the Early Church Fathers thinking about the Bible as it was written. Today's Society has lost a lot of the teachings that the early Church Fathers have done. It is good to sit down and review what they said about various passages. Read the passage and see how they interpret them. Plus with Logos if you have the bigger collection of their writings. Quick link to the whole Sermon or Section that mentioned that verse and was explaining it. So you can ensure the context is what is expressed here in this Unique commentary series. I thought it well worth purchasing a year ago. Now I am picking up the two books I do not have that they are releasing next year.
