The Patristic Study Bible, coordinated by José María de Rus, features leading experts in biblical sciences, Church History, Early Church, and Patristics or Church Fathers; it guarantees quality and rigor in this ambitious biblical project.
To make available to the reader, in the form of study notes, the essence of the contributions, studies, and reflections of the leaders of the Early Church such as Augustine of Hippo, Origen, Tertullian, Justin Martyr, Ambrose of Milan, or Cyril of Jerusalem, among others, is an immense but highly valuable work.
The Patristic Study Bible, edited by Justo L. Gonzalez and Alfonso Ropero as main editors, is the first study Bible that examines the teachings and writings globally, historically, and integrally, of the main authors and figures of that era so close and fundamental to the beginning of Christianity and the development and expansion of the Early Church.
Focused not only on understanding the interpretive and biblical application efforts of the early church leaders but also on illuminating our responsibility, as well as its current interpretation and relevance today. And an applicative approach to spiritually and morally enrich us, and to be able to walk
