Volume 3
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Arthur Just
General Editor Thomas C. OdenFor the church fathers the Gospels did not serve as resources for individual analysis and academic study. They were read and heard and interpreted within the worshiping community. They served as sources for pastoral counsel and admonition for those who were committed to the Way.

Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Joel C. Elowsky
General Editor Thomas C. OdenThe Gospel of John was beloved by the early church, much as it is today, for its spiritual insight and clear declaration of Jesus' divinity.

EbookThe Singer Trilogy
by Calvin Miller
"... I found in a university bookstore a trilogy of books that impacted my life so deeply that—twenty-five years later—I find myself still quoting lines and discussing concepts of truth from them. Literature like The Singer Trilogy will live—like Milton's Paradise Lost and James Weldon Johnson's God's Trombones. The Singer must never be allowed to be out of print. Every generation needs to read ...
