Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, 30 Volume Softcover Set

Wisdom of the Early Church Fathers for Modern Readers

The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture (ACCS) lets you explore the writings of early church fathers for yourself. Organized by the books of the Bible and using the Revised Standard Version translation, each of the twenty-nine volumes brings the voices of the early church to life as they engage with Scripture.

Scholars have carefully selected and presented material from a wide range of writings—including much that is available only in the ancient languages—providing readers with valuable insights into Scripture. The result is a postcritical revival of the early commentary tradition known as the glossa ordinaria, a text artfully elaborated with ancient and authoritative reflections and insights.
