Brian E. Daley, SJ, is a highly acclaimed scholar of early Christian theology. In a prolific career spanning more than forty years, he has published his research in a wide range of academic journals and edited collections; this book represents the first time that several of his studies of patristic biblical interpretation and doctrine have been brought together in one volume.The eighteen essays in this collection examine topics including patristic exegesis, Origen's De principiis, Cappadocian scriptural interpretation and doctrine, early Christian views on redemption and eschatology, and modern retrievals of patristic scriptural interpretation. This informative and insightful volume is an essential resource for theologians, exegetes interested in the history of interpretation, and theological libraries.
