ANCIENT CHRISTIAN COMMENTARY SERIES Book Review

Ancient Christian Commentary Series
(ACCS)
Publisher: InterVarsity Press IVP


Recommended Books

The Ancient Christian Commentary Series from InterVarsity Press is quite an undertaking for any publisher.  The series contains currently 29 volumes.  I don't know if more are planned.  The books are fairly pricey at $50 retail for each book, though often you will find used copies and discountied new copies available.

What is contained in these books are the specific passages written by the Early Church Fathers about the Holy Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse.  They are excellent for exegetical study, students of Scripture, the Bible Scholar, and inspirational reading.

I currently own two of the volumes, since it is the same for me as for most people--I buy slowly because of the cost.   I keep them handy for study and general reading, and have discovered many truths that the early writers of the church gleaned and wrote down for posterity.

InterVarsity Press does have a program where you can sign up for a volume to come to you on a schedule, with the first volume sent at a greatly reduced price, and each succeeding volume shipped at a good discounted price.
