Old Testament XIV: The Twelve Prophets
Overview
In this rich and vital resource you will find excerpts, some translated here into English for the first time, from more than thirty church fathers, ranging in time from Clement of Rome, Justin Martyr and Irenaeus (late first and early second centuries) to Gregory the Great, Braulio of Saragossa and Bede the Venerable (late sixth to early eighth centuries). Geographically the sources range from the great Cappadocians—Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa–John Chrysostom, Ephrem the Syrian and Hippolytus in the East to Ambrose, Augustine, Cyprian and Tertullian in the West and Origen, Cyril and Pachomius in Egypt.

“Joel comes from the Hebrew yô˒ēl, which means ‘Yahweh is El.’” (Page 57)
“Joel 1:1–2:11 contains a prophetic lamentation that describes a plague of locusts, which is symbolic of judgment and recalls one of the plagues on Egypt.” (Page 57)
“This is why God threatened with hell—so he would not lead anyone away to hell.” (Page 141)
“It falls into two parts: Joel 1:1–2:27 (Joel 1–2 lxx and Heb), the plague of the locusts; and Joel 2:28–3:21 (Joel 3–4 lxx and Heb), the day of Yahweh.” (Page 57)
“Jesus Is the Foundation. Jerome: At the same, the reader should examine carefully that it does not say that the devil was standing triumphantly as a victor, but that he was at a halt in the contest and was being held in the battle line and in uncertainty—no, indeed, he was not victor, since he had not yet begun to fight. As for the words ‘to accuse him,’ the devil was his adversary, just as we said, because Jesus was clothed in garments that were filthy with our sins.” (Page 239)
