Editorial Reviews

'Hill has provided a lucid and engaging introduction to the Old Testament commentaries […] a solid foundation on which future studies of the Antiochene tradition can build.'
David G.Hunter, Iowa State University.
'This volume will help student and scholar alike to reassess the Old Testament works of a significant and distinctive group of early Christian biblical commentators who have been sometimes undervalued or, more often, misrepresented'.
Pauline Allen, Australian Catholic University.
'C’est en réalité un panorama complet de l’exégèse antiochienne aux IVe et Ve siècles sur l’Ancien Testament que présente ici R. Hill […] les spécialistes à coup sûr en retireront un grand profit […] cette belle synthèse sur l’exégèse antiochienne de l’Ancien Testament est celle d’un excellent connaisseur.'
Jean-Noël Guinot, Institut des Sources Chrétiennes, Lyon.
