In Dominico Eloquio-In Lordly Eloquence: Essays on Patristic Exegesis in Honor of Robert L. Wilken: Essays on Patristic Exegesis in Honor of Robert Louis ... / Edited by Paul M. Blowers ... [Et Al.].

by Paul M. Blowers, Angela Russell Christman, Robin Darling Young

This volume gathers fresh perspectives on important themes in the study of the Christian writers of the patristic period.

Dedicated to Robert Louis Wilken, one of today's foremost historians of early Christianity, these compelling studies investigate ways that the church fathers engaged the Bible theologically, devotionally, liturgically, ethically, and pastorally. The findings set forth here not only honor Wilken's influential contribution to the field but represent the state of the art in patristics scholarship.

An excellent collection of essays honoring one of my most-admired patristics scholars, Robert Louis Wilken. I'll admit that I didn't read every essay, but the ones I did read were consistently enjoyable and, yes, eloquent.

Probably not a good introduction for someone who hasn't done much reading in the Fathers themselves, but a good orientation to issues in the field of ancient biblical interpretation for those who have.
