Commentary on the Psalms, Vol 2

Volume two of St John Chrysostom's commentaries on the Psalms contains commentaries on Psalms 109-150 (with the exception of the long Ps 119). While St. John Chrysostom may have commented on all 150 psalms in the Psalter, commentary has survived on only fifty-eight. In this work, probably composed while he was still in Antioch, Chrysostom's brilliance as an exegete of the "literal school" of Antioch shines forth, even as he works with the metaphorical language and imagery of the psalms. Comment on Chrysostom's text is also given in endnotes, and indexes are provided in each volume.
