Title
St. John Chrysostom: Commentary on the Psalms,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Two volumes of Chrysostom's commentaries on the Psalms. Volume One contains commentaries on Psalms 413, 4450, and Volume Two contains commentaries on Psalms 109150 (with the exception of the long Ps 119). While St. John Chrysostom may have commented on all 150 psalms in the Psalter, commentary has survived on only fiftyeight. In these volumes, Robert Charles Hill has prepared an excellent translation of the commentary in Volume One Psalms 413, 4450, and in Volume Two Psalms 109150 (with the exception of the long Ps 119) all appearing for the first time in English. In this work, probably composed while he was still in Antioch, Chrysostom's brilliance as an exegete of the 'literal school' of Antioch shines forth, even as he works with the metaphorical language and imagery of the psalms. As Hill writes, 'it is fascinating to watch Chrysostom . . . coming to grips with this lyrical material, achieving some sense of comfort, and eventually devising for the first time? his own hermeneutical principles for coping with such texts.' The extensive Introduction in Volume One covers basic issues on the commentary, including its origins, its relationship to Chrysostom's other exegetical work, his attitude to Scripture, and the theology, spirituality and other moral accents of the commentary. Comment on Chrysostom's text is also given in endnotes, and indexes are provided in each volume.
