This volume gathers fresh perspectives on the development of biblical interpretation and other important themes in the study of Christian authors from the patristic period. Covering such central figures as Origen, Augustine, and Gregory of Nyssa, as well as less familiar figures, these compelling studies offer a rich variety of perspectives on the ways that church fathers used the Bible theologically, devotionally, liturgically, ethically, and pastorally. Written by established and emerging scholars in the field, this volume not only honors the career of Robert Louis Wilken, one of todays foremost historians of early Christianity, but also represents the state of the art in patristics scholarship.
