About the ACCS
The Ancient Christian
Commentary on Scripture does what very few of today's students
of the Bible could do for themselves. With the aid of computer technology, the
vast array of writings from the church fathers - including much that is
available only in the ancient languages - have been combed for their comment
on Scripture.
From these results, scholars with a
deep knowledge of the fathers
and a heart for the church have hand selected material for each volume,
shaping, annotating and introducing it to today's readers. Each portion of
commentary has been chosen for its salient insight, its rhetorical power and
its faithful representation of the consensual exegesis of the early church.
Included on cd-rom is the
full text of all 29 commentaries from the Ancient
Christian Commentary on Scripture series, covering the entire Bible.
This ACCS CD-ROM Complete Set includes:
