Clement of Alexandria indeed declared it the \"spiritual Gospel.\" Early disputers with heretics such as Cerinthus and the Ebionites drew upon the Gospel of John to refute their heretical notions and uphold the full deity of Christ  and this Gospel more than any other was central to the trinitarian and christological debates of the fourth and fifth centuries. At the same time  the Gospel of John was also thought to be the most chronological  and even to this day is the source of our sense of Jesus having a three-year ministry. And John Chrysostoms Homilies on John  perhaps more than any other commentary  emphasize Christs humanity and condescension toward the human race. In addition to the serial homilies of John Chrysostom  readers of this volume will find selections from those of Origen  Theodore of Mopsuestia  Cyril ofAlexandria and Augustine. These commentaries are supplemented with homiletic material from Gregory the Great  Peter Chrysologus  Caesarius  Amphilochius  Basil the Great and Basil of Seleucia among others. Liturgical selections derive from Ephrem theSyrian  Ambrose and Romanos the Melodist  which are further supplemented with doctrinal material from Athanasius  the Cappodocians  Hilary and Ambrose. This rich tradition  some of which is here translated for the first time  offers a vast treasure out of which todays scribes trained for the kingdom may bring forth that which is new and what is old.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666032156725,"sku":"ByrdShop_0830814892","price":96.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780830814893.jpg?v=1782415996","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/john-110-ancient-christian-commentary-on-scripture-9780830814893","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
