Oden, Henry Anson Buttz Professor of Theology at Drew University.  This  28 volume commentary series, published by InterVarsity Press, is also being published in as many as six other languages around the world.  We are also creating an original language version of each volume consisting of the original Greek, Latin or Syriac from which each quote was translated.  Each volume of the the English commentary consists of short introductions by volume editors to acclimate the reader to the material and the writers of the ancient church.  This introduction is then followed by the ancient church's commentary on Scripture in its own words, with minimal editorial intrusion.  For further information on the series, you can go to our website here at Drew or at InterVarsity Press (Ancientchristian.com).
