{"product_id":"books-matthew-14-28-by-manlio-simonetti","title":"Matthew 14-28","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gospel of Matthew stands out as a favorite biblical text among patristic commentators. 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","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53506254405905,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780830814695.jpg?v=1778108389","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-matthew-14-28-by-manlio-simonetti","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
