71. St. Jerome

In this massive volume, patristics scholar Thomas P. Scheck offers a worthy sequel to his magisterial St. Jerome’s Commentary on Isaiah (ACW 68) with the first translation into a modern language of St. Jerome’s Commentary on Ezekiel, his second longest Old Testament commentary. With these two volumes together, Paulist Press now offers Jerome’s two longest commentaries, which are also considered his greatest works. With current interest in the Old Testament prophets, especially the major prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel, at a high level, the Ancient Christian Writers series makes available a new, significant title to the works of Jerome in the English language. †
