www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life Scripture and Patristic Writings Old Testament commentaries?

I've finally found a few New Testatment commentaries-John chrysostom and Bishop Theolyphact (awesome!) that are helpful in helping me understand the Bible better.

Are there any Orthodox or early christian old testament bible commentaries anyone can recommend?

Peace,

I'm interested in this topic, as well.

There are a few worthwhile books of the sort you mentioned: patristic commentaries on a given book. Johanna Manley has done great work on this front -- she has produced books excerpting patristic commentaries on the Psalms ("Grace for Grace"), Isaiah ("Isaiah Through the Ages"), and a third ("Wisdom, Let Us Attend") that covers Job and much of the rest of the OT.

St. John Chrysostom has a series of multi-book series of commentaries on Genesis, the Psalms, and the Old Testament available from Holy Cross Bookstore. Naturally, St. Augustine's writings on the Psalms are inspirational. St. Gregory of Nyssa's work on the Psalms is available. Most of the Fathers wrote extensively on the Song of Solomon (Song of Songs, Canticle of Canticles).

That may get you started. I'd like the views of others, as well.

The Navarre Bible's (a multi-volume set of the whole Bible) commentaries include many quotations from the Eastern and Western Fathers, and subsequent Church saints. It may be a bit pricey for individual's budget but you probably can find it in libraries. It can also serve as a useful bibliography of such commentaries by the Fathers.

Thanks, I'll start with your suggestions first.
