Reading the writings of early church fathers points us to the deep joy that awaits us in Christ when we drink deeply from Scripture, the only water that can give us true life. This guide for reflection combines excerpts from the writings of the church fathers as found in the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture with a simple structure for daily or weekly reading and prayer. Included are fifty-two weeks of readings following the weekly lectionary cycle B which can be read in order or by thematic interest. Each day you will also find a simple opening and closing prayer drawn from the prayers and hymns of the ancient church. Come and find the deep nourishment God offers.
Cindy Crosby is a speaker and the author of five books, including By Willoway Brook: Exploring the Landscape of Prayer. Together with Thomas Oden, she compiled the other two volumes of the Ancient Christian Devotional (for lectionary cycles A and C).
Thomas C. Oden, formerly a professor at The Theological School of Drew University, is general editor of the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, the Ancient Christian Doctrine series and the Ancient Christian Texts series, and author of numerous theological works, including a three-volume systematic theology.
"This looks to be an excellent resource for any layperson who wants to learn more about the Scriptures, what they mean, and what the church fathers had to say about them, as well as for clergy, church and school libraries and Education for Ministry groups."
