Several publishers have specifically theological commentaries on scripture, including the Two Horizons (Eerdmans), Brazos (Baker/SCM), and Belief (Westminster John Knox) series. A parallel endeavour is commentaries assembled from quotations from the Fathers, whether put together in the present (Church’s Bible, Eerdmans, and Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, IVP), or in the past, as for instance by Thomas Aquinas in his Catena Aurea (or Golden Chain), on the four Gospels, translated by John Henry Newman (online, and a new hardback edition, Baronius, 2013).
