Cramer's Catena of commentary from John Chrysostom, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Severian of Gabala, and Eusebius of Emesa Cramer's Catena, a "chain" of comments on Galatians by fourth-century churchmen, is presented in colloquial translation faithful to the original a ncient Greek; some of it appears here for the first time in English. Featured first and foremost is the commentary by "golden-mouthed" John Chrysostom, with supplemental remarks from three other learned but more or less controversial figures of the same era, Theodore of Mopsuestia, Severian, and Eusebius of Emesa. Paul's epistle is approached through the twelve "main topics" into which it was divided in ancient times (division into chapter and verse being a much later phenomenon). The intent of the collection was to give Paul's readers new and eye-opening insights into the meaning of the letter. Today's reader will find those insights still fresh and, sometimes, provocative. Explanatory comments by the translator (usually covering technical issues relating to the Greek text) are restricted to footnotes. A brief Introduction prepares readers for what they will encounter in the Catena itself.
