📱 eBook en inglés COMMENTARIES ON JOB, HOSEA, JOEL, AND AMOS

"Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind . . . "

Julian of Eclanum (c. 386–455) was the bishop of Eclanum, located in modern-day Italy. In this volume in IVPs Ancient Christian Texts series, Thomas Scheck provides a new translation of Julians commentaries on the biblical books of Job and those of three Minor Prophets: Hosea, Joel, and Amos. Here, readers will gain insight into how early Christians read texts such as Gods speech to Job, Hoseas symbolic representation of Gods unending love for a faithless Israel, Joels anticipation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and Amoss call for social justice.

While Julian was a well-known leader among the Pelagians, whose theology was famously opposed by Augustine of Hippo and ultimately determined to be outside the bounds of the churchs orthodoxy, the Pelagian movement was a significant element within the early church. And although Julians Pelagianism does not fundamentally affect the commentaries presented in this volume, Christians can gain insight into the truths of Scripture by reading the text alongside others, even when—or perhaps especially when—we might disagree with other aspects of their beliefs.

Ancient Christian Texts are new English translations of full-length commentaries or sermon series from ancient Christian authors that allow you to study key writings of the early church fathers in a fresh way.
