Timeless Insights from the Early Church Made Available in English

Discover the Ancient Christian Texts series—a collection of new English translations that open a window into the wisdom of the early church. Many of these full-length commentaries and sermon series are available here for the first time in English, making them accessible to a wider audience and providing readers the resources they need to study key writings of the early church.

The Ancient Christian Text series

• offers first-time English translations of foundational early Christian writings,
• gives access to pastoral and theological insights from the early church’s leading theologians, and
• includes additional notes for clarity and helpful background information.

Ancient Christian Texts extends the ecumenical project begun with the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture (ACCS), promoting a vital link of communication between today's varied Christian traditions and their common ancient ancestors in the faith. Several of the texts excerpted in the ACCS are made available more fully through the Ancient Christian Texts volumes.

Praise for the Series

"The burst of renewed interest in the way the fathers of the church read, preached and prayed the Scriptures is a blessing for the church and for scholars. ... Ancient Christian Texts represent an excellent selection of patristic exegetical works, some of which will be available for the first time in English. This undertaking will be a great service to all who love the Bible."

—Joseph T. Lienhard, S.J., Fordham University
