The rich tapestry of the creation narrative in the early chapters of Genesis proved irresistible to the thoughtful, reflective minds of the church fathers. Within them they found the beginning threads from which to weave a theology of creation, fall and redemption. Following their mentor, the apostle Paul, they explored the profound significance of Adam as a type of Christ, the second Adam. The six days of creation proved especially attractive among the fathers as a subject for commentary, with Basil the Great and Ambrose producing well-known Hexaemerons. Similarly, Augustine devoted portions of five works to the first chapter of Genesis. As in previous volumes within the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, the range of comment contained in Genesis 1--11 spans from the first century to the eighth, from East to West, and from Greek and Latin speakers to Syriac. Especially helpful in this volume is editor Andrew Louth's supply of Septuagintal alternative readings
Editorial : "This volume continues the valuable exploration of patristic interpretation." (Mark Bilby, Religious Studies Review, September 2009)
"A 'must' for all theological libraries." (International Review of Biblical Studies, Vol. 55, 2008-2009)
"A wealth of information for the classic Bible scholar." (Ravonne A. Green, American Reference Books Annual, 2006, Volume 37)
"Contemporary Christians would do well to draw the hermeneutical circle broadly enough to include not only cross-cultural voices from around the world but also the voices to be found in the Ancient Christian Commentary series. This is an excellent sermon-preparation resource for pastors." (Christian Century, May 2, 2006)
"All who are interested in the interpretation of the Bible will welcome the forthcoming multivolume series Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture. Here the insights of scores of early church fathers will be assembled and made readily available for significant passag
Refreshing. This book is an outstanding resource for the students and teaches vital challenges on the context of contemporary issues. Love giving these to kids.. Rowan Evans is a schoolteacher who has spent the majority of her life surrounded by security because of her father's wealth and importance. Focusing on individual characters per issue/ chapter while letting the larger narrative arc unfold feels perfectly natural here and the young Avengers in training are all taken seriously and given flaws, empathetic backstorys, and future intentions and dreams/ desires. For example, the characters are insects and speak to each other from their interpretation of the world. From Cream and the Beatles through Punk and Grunge BCN was there for it all.
