The Psalms reverberate with joy, groan in pain, whimper with sadness, grumble in disappointment, and rage with anger.\nThe church fathers employed the Psalms widely. In liturgy they used them both as hymns and as Scripture readings. Within them they found pointers to Jesus both as Son of God and as Messiah. They also employed the Psalms widely as support for other New Testament teachings, as counsel on morals, and as forms for prayer.\nBut the church fathers found more than pastoral insight in the Psalms. They found apologetic anddoctrinal insight as well, as is attested by the more than sixty-five authors and more than 160 works excerpted in this Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture volume.\nEspecially noteworthy among the Greek-speaking authors cited are Hippolytus, Origen, Eusebius of Caesarea, Athanasius, Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nyssa, Didymus the Blind, Evagrius of Pontus, Diodore of Tarsus, John Chrysostom, Asterius the Homilist, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Theodoret of Cyr, Cyril of Alexandria, and Hesychius of Jerusalem. Among noteworthy Latin authors we find Hilary of Poitiers, Ambrose of Milan, Jerome, Augustine, Arnobius the Younger, and Cassiodorus.\nReaders of these selections, some of which appear here for the first time in English, will glean from a rich treasury of deep devotion and profound theological reflection.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0830814779\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0830814779.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Blaising, Craig A.|Hardin, Carmen S.|Oden, Thomas C.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
