Reading the Bible with Ten Church Fathers: How to Interpret, Teach, and Preach Like the Early Christians

By AD 100, all the original disciples had died and a new generation of preachers, teachers, and scholars had taken on the responsibility to preach, teach, and interpret the Scriptures. These men have become known as the church fathers. But who were they? When and where did they live? And, most importantly, what did they teach about how to read and understand the Bible?

Join professor and author Gerald Bray as he uncovers the fascinating history of the men who shaped the faith for the first few centuries after the apostles, including Justin Martyr, Origen, Gregory of Nyssa, Ambrosiaster, John Chrysostom, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Jerome, Augustine of Hippo, Cyril of Alexandria, and Theodoret of Cyrrhus.

This compelling introduction reveals how early Christians read, preached, and understood the Bible, offering a unique look at their shared vision to spread the gospel with clarity amid remarkable diversity of perspective. Pastors, teachers, and thoughtful laypeople alike will find this book both educational and inspiring.
