Description:
"Examines the interpretation of the Fourth Gospel by the Greek Fathers, especially Origen, Theodore of Mopsuestia and Cyril of Alexandria. The study is useful because it adds to our understanding both of St. John's Gospel itself and of the exegesis of the great early commentators. Of these, Theodore's commentary is still little known. Since this particular Gospel was a main ground of early controversy in the formulation of Christian doctrine, the study is important for scholars of the New Testament generally, and historians of the Church."
