A Patristic Greek Reader
The heart of this book is a selection of Greek texts from early Christian
writers, accompanied by notes so that a person with one year of Greek can read
the texts. Basic translations of the texts are also provided so that readers
can check their work. A list of words used 50+ times in the New Testament and
the principal parts of several verbs is included.
The Greek selections represent a variety of styles and levels of difficulty.
The notes also vary, with very extensive notes provided in some cases. Passages
that have played a major role in the history of Christian thought are included,
as well as passages that contribute to matters of spirituality and pastoral
care. Several passages are of more purely historical interest.
The author includes an introduction to the writings of the early church to help
orient readers to the writings of the Fathers in general and also give the
rationale for the particular selections included in the book. Each selection
also has a brief introduction discussing its historical setting and content. A
brief bibliography is included for the particular selections included and for
the Greek reference works cited. However, the book would also be of interest to
those studying the Classics and could be used by anyone as a brief introduction
to some samples of early Christian thought. This may be the only book available
that provides such translation notes for selections from the Greek fathers.
[An] unusual and extremely useful work. [...] What is so refreshing about " this collection is the obvious fact that it does not make one of two false
assumptions, either that only Biblical Greek is worthy of the attention of
serious students or that classical Greek is the only type of Greek worthy of
the name. [...] The selection of texts is extremely wide and imaginative. [...] Each author's work is preceded by a useful introduction telling the reader
something of the life and writings of the author under review and of the
context of the writing in question. [...] The notes to the Greek text are very
full and helpful and should be of great help to the translator. - Anthony " Meredith
