In his monastery in a remote corner of Europe, the grandson of Anglo-Saxon pagans quietly spent his life studying and writing, passing the wisdom of christian antiquity on to generations of latin readers. And in the process, this most learned and the least proud of men came to be acknowledged as a Doctor of the Church.Bede's commentary on the Book of Acts is one of his earliest exegetical works (usually dated between 709 and 710) and one of his most popular and influential. None of the Latin Fathers of the Church had written a commentary on this book, and those which existed in Greek were unlikely to have been known in the West. Bede became the authority on Acts for countless subsequent students of Scripture.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Bede's commentary on the Book of Acts is one of his earliest exegetical works (usually dated between 709 and 710) and one of his most popular and influential. None of the Latin Fathers of the Church had written a commentary on this book, and those which existed in Greek were unlikely to have been known in the West. Bede became the authority on Acts for countless subsequent students of Scripture. The breadth of Bede's mind, the diversity of his interests, and the thoroughness of his research are all mirrored in this work. Allegory is freely interspersed with practical commentary, textual analysis with mystical interpretation. Far from being a quaint relic of outdated exegesis, the commentary can be of practical use to modern Christians who read it in the spirit in which it was written: meditation on the workings of God.

Softcover/Paperback. Etat : Fine. The Venerable Bede's Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles. 'First Bede shows considerable concern with the literal sense of the Book of Acts. Many of his observations bear simply on textual matters. Bede's interest in the literal sense of the scriptures is not limited to textual matters. Many comments show his eagerness to elucidate the literal meaning of Acts by clarifying matters of chronology as for example the still troubling uncertainties about the details of the chronology of Paul's life for example the comment on Acts 21:27. He often shows a similar concern to explain questions of geography and even to help the reader understand the nautical terminology in chapter 27 of Acts.'--from the Introduction. | Pages: 0.
