Books by Manlio Simonetti

The Gospel of Matthew stands out as a favorite biblical text among patristic commentators, including Origen, Hilary of Poitiers, Jerome, Theodore of Heraclea, Cyril of Alexandria, John Chrysostom, Augustine, and more. In this ACCS volume, the rich abundance of patristic comment provides a feast of ancient interpretation of the First Gospel.

This study of the role of Scripture in the infant Church follows the history of exegesis for six centuries, and concludes with a final theological perspective through a study of the theological interpretation of Scripture in the patristic era.
