Christians live in the house built by the church fathers. The fathers’ reading of the Scriptures shaped key doctrines that are essential to Christianity. But appreciating how the fathers read the Bible is not just for the historically curious, as if it were only a matter of literary archaeology. Nor should it be intimidating. Rather, the fathers gleaned insights from Scripture that continue to be relevant to all Christians. How the Church Fathers Read the Bible is an accessible introduction to help you read Scripture with the early church. With a clear and simple style, Gerald Bray explains the distinctives of early Christian interpretation and shows how the fathers interpreted key Bible passages from Genesis to Revelation. Their unique perspective is summed up in seven principles that can inspire our Bible reading today. With Bray as your guide, you can reclaim the rich insights of the fathers with reverence and discernment.

Show stopper!

This jacket is everything! My son wore it to his football banquet and it looked amazing. I was worried because he is big for his age and although he can wear men sizes, they can sometimes be too long in the arms. This jacket did not disappoint. It fit his arms well, buttoned up nice and was a great length. It was a nice feel and was not overbearing and thick, but made well. He did a lot of moving around but had no issue with feeling tight it’s certain movements or any rip. I would definitely recommend, money well spent. For reference, my son is 5’1 and 125 pounds. We got a size XS.
