The patristic commentary tradition on Matthew begins with Origen's pioneering twenty-five-volume commentary on the First Gospel in the mid-third century. In the Latin-speaking West, where commentaries did not appear until about a century later, the first commentary on Matthew was written by Hilary of Poitiers in the mid-fourth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom that point, the First Gospel became one of the texts most frequently commented on in patristic exegesis. Outstanding examples are Jerome's four-volume commentary and the valuable but anonymous and incomplete \u003ci\u003eOpus imperfectum in Matthaeum.\u003c\/i\u003e Then there are the Greek \u003ci\u003ecatena\u003c\/i\u003e fragments derived from commentaries by Theodore of Heraclea, Apollinaris of Laodicea, Theodore of Mopsuestia and Cyril of Alexandria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ancient homilies also provide ample comment, including John Chrysostom's ninety homilies and Chromatius of Aquileia's fifty-nine homilies on the Gospel of Matthew. In addition, there are various Sunday and feast-day homilies from towering figures such as Augustine and Gregory the Great, as well as other fathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rich abundance of patristic comment, much of it presented here in English translation for the first time by editor Manlio Simonetti, provides a bountiful and varied feast of ancient interpretation of the First Gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830814862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.24h x 7.38w x 1.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold Medallion Book Awards - Nominee","brand":"Manlio Simonetti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45000431567029,"sku":"9780830814862","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_8bb5cae1-f216-4c77-9701-2d5e32dd8e83.jpg?v=1736264755","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/matthew-1-13-volume-1a-volume-1-9780830814862","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
