Reading the Bible with Ten Church Fathers

Gerald Bray's book surveys ten influential church fathers and explains how each approached biblical interpretation, emphasizing the centrality of Scripture in their thought.

It aims to make their sermons, commentaries, and methods accessible to contemporary readers, especially pastors and Bible teachers.

The book argues that despite cultural differences, these fathers share core commitments with modern Christians, notably placing the Bible at the heart of doctrine and practice.

Bray highlights both helpful insights and the limits or excesses of particular readings, encouraging discernment rather than uncritical adoption.

The work is designed as an introductory, readable guide to recover the fathers' interpretive mentality for preaching and ministry today.
