|  | Teacher of Holiness: The Holy Spirit in Origen's Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans by Maureen Beyer Moser
This book explores the pneumatology of Origen's Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans illustrates the centrality of the Holy Spirit for his theological project. As both God's exitus into the world and humanity's reditus to God, the Spirit forms the crucial link between Origen's doctrine of God and his spiritual anthropology. Origen's images for the Holy Spirit, understood in the context of second century concepts of 'spirit,' convey the intersection of theology and anthropology in his thought. This book explores Origen's understanding of the multiplicity of spirits found in the Scriptures, with particular emphasis on the Holy Spirit as pivotal to God's outreach into the world. |

|  | St. Cyril of Alexandria, A New Testament Exegete by Lois M. Farag
This study portrays Cyril of Alexandria as exegete and theologian through an examination of his Commentary on the Gospel John. It begins with an attempt to place Cyril and his commentary within their context. This work argues that Cyril wrote his Commentary on the Gospel of John early in his writing career, almost a decade before becoming bishop. Cyril’s commentary on the Johannine Gospel reveals his exegetical method and his strong Trinitarian theology. The commentary also focuses the nature and work of the Holy Spirit: the indwelling of the Spirit is the beginning of the newness of life. |

Scripture provides us with many examples of human beings responding to God’s call--some faithfully, and others not. After an introduction, the talks in the first section of the book work through Peter, Jonah, Solomon, Isaiah, and Elijah, who were called by God at different times in their lives and responded in ways that make them examples to follow. The second section deals with Peter, Andrew, and the women disciples of Jesus as examples of those who followed Jesus as their lives and circumstances permitted. When brought together, these two cycles of talks demonstrate how uncertain passages of Scripture can be made clear by reference to other parts of the Bible, and how the circumstances and lives of scriptural figures shed light upon our own lives in the modern world.
The general goal of this approach is not only to help people understand the particular passages of the Bible that are discussed, but also to show how they can approach passages and teachings in Scripture practically, making them easier to apply to their lives today. The final section of the book, entitled “Hearing the Voice of God in Scripture,” offers a basic understanding and appreciation for the special nature of the Bible as a collection of independent works. It also offers concrete suggestions for how people can understand the Bible as an integrated whole. Together, these two different parts of the book support attempts by laypeople to read the Bible intelligently and religiously at the same time.
