Theophylacht of Ochrid
This volume is as a result of the reading of the letter collection of Theophylacht of Ochrid, Archbishop of Bulgaria. The letters have been previously studied from an historical point of view, but in this volume the author concentrates on the letters as examples of Byzantine literature. The book attempts to place an epistolary text in a succession of literary and historical contexts, as well as to prove the reliability of any rhetorical text for straightforward biography. In addition, an analysis is also made of the personal networks of Theophylacht.
The Explanation of Philippians
The Blessed Archbishop Theophylact of Bulgaria lived and ministered during the second half of the 11th century AD. Trained as a scholar and cleric at the patriarchal academy in Constantinople, he spent the bulk of his career as a missionary in Ohrid on the outskirts of the Byzantine Empire. During that time, he wrote a series of commentaries on most of the books of the New Testament and some of the prophets, which are beloved to this day for their wisdom and penetrating insights.
The Explanation by Blessed Theophylact of the Holy Gospel According to St. Matthew
A timeless classic of the Eastern Orthodox Church, now available for the first time in English translation. Renowned in Russian Orthodox literature as THE BLAGOVIESTNIK (Explanation of the Holy Gospel), it has been for 900 years the fundamental Gospel commentary of the whole Orthodox Church. It distills the teachings of the early Church Fathers into a simple, profound, verse by verse commentary, & reveals the way in which Orthodox Christians approach the Scriptures. Vol. 2, The Explanation of St. Mark, is due for publication in October, 1993. "It is an achievement to bring into contemporary light this part of the Orthodox Tradition."--Fr. Theodore Stylianopoulos, Professor of New Testament at Holy Cross Seminary, Brookline, MA. "An important & much needed book for Orthodox Christians in their study of the New Testament."--Bishop Hilarion, Manhattan, NY. "The material is superb, lofty, & inspiring."--Bishop Chrysostomos, Etna, CA.
