Isaiah: Interpreted by Early Christian Medieval Commentators (The Church's Bible)

<DIV>In his extremely thorough work on Isaiah, Robert Wilken brings to bear his considerable knowledge of early Christianity. Drawing on writings of the church fathers -- Eusebius of Caesarea, Ambrose, Jerome, Cyril of Alexandria, Theodoret of Cyrus, Bernard of Clairvaux, and nearly sixty others -- all of them masterfully translated, this work allows the complex words of Isaiah to come alive.<br><br>Wilken's selection of ancient commentators clearly illuminates how Isaiah was used by the New Testament writers and understood by the early church fathers. Each chapter begins with a modern English translation of the septuagint, prepared by Moisés Silva. Editorial comments provide a foundation for understanding the excerpted commentaries and other writings that follow for each chapter.<br><br><I>Isaiah: Interpreted by Early Christian and Medieval Commentators</I> is ideal for devotional and spiritual reading and for a deeper understanding of the church's historical interpretation of this major prophet.</DIV>
