A translation and introduction by one of the leading experts on Chrysostom of his Commentary on the Psalms. In this work, probably composed while Chrysostom was in Antioch, displays his brilliance, even as this great Father of the Antiochene school struggles with the metaphors and images of the Psalms. Volume I contains an extensive introduction to the work and covers Psalms 4-13, 44-50.
