A guide to using this commentary -- Abbreviations -- Introductions to psalms 1 -- 50 -- Commentary on psalms 1 -- 50 -- Appendix : early Christian writers and the documents cited -- Biographical sketches -- Timeline of writers of the patristic period -- Bibliography of works in original languages -- Bibliography of works in English translation
Summary: The church fathers employed the Psalms widely. In liturgy they used them both as hymns and as Scripture readings. Within them they found pointers to Jesus both as Son of God and Messiah. They also employed the Psalms widely as support for other New Testament teachings, as counsel on morals and as forms of prayer. But the church fathers found more than pastoral insight in the Psalms. They found apologetic and doctrinal insight as well, as is attested by the more than 65 authors and more than 160 works excerpted in this commentary
