A compilation of comments on or relating to Matthew 14-28 from patristic authors from the second through eighth centuries.

The material is clearly organized. Origen, Chrysostom, the Incomplete Work on Matthew, and Peter Chrysologus are well-represented and make up the bulk of the comments; nevertheless, many others are quoted as well.

The comments indicate the interpretive methods and textual understanding of people in the first few centuries. There is much here to take into consideration-- a critical study for understanding the history of interpretation, and yet useful for seeing the Gospel of Matthew through the eyes of people with worldviews far different from our own.

This volume, as all volumes in the series, comes highly recommended for quality study. Not everything that is said ought to be blindly accepted; nevertheless, anyone seeking to understand the text will find valuable insights from those who engaged in the same work before them. ( )
