Old Testament XIII: Ezekiel, Daniel
Overview
Over forty church fathers are cited in the commentary on Ezekiel, some of whom are here translated into English for the first time, but pride of place goes to four significant extant works: the homilies of Origen and Gregory the Great, and the commentaries of Jerome and Theodoret of Cyr, thus bridging East and West, North and South. A similar array of fathers are found within the commentary on Daniel. Extensive comments derive from the works of Theodoret of Cyr, Hippolytus, Jerome and Isho’dad of Merv and provide a wealth of insight. Valuable commentary attributed to Ephrem the Syrian and John Chrysostom is also found here, though the authorship of these commentaries is indeed questioned.

“The waters flowing from the temple are the teaching of the church (Jerome” (Page 146)
“the death of his wife, whom God commands him not to mourn” (Page xix)
“That the raiment and shoes of the children of Israel remained unworn and fresh for the space of forty years … that the fires of Babylon injured neither the cloaks nor the trousers of the three young men … that Jonah was swallowed by the monster of the deep, in whose belly whole ships were devoured and after three days was vomited out safe and sound—to what faith do these notable facts bear witness, if not to that which ought to inspire in us the belief that they are proofs … of our own future integrity and perfect resurrection?… They are written that we may believe both that the Lord is more powerful than all natural laws about the body, and that he shows himself the preserver of the flesh the more emphatically, in that he has preserved for the body even its very clothes and shoes.” (Page 184)
