Book Synopsis
Within this analytic framework, the authors explain the larger structure of patristic exegesis and argue for the importance of this structure in the emergence of Christian orthodoxy.

Trade Review
Though they cover a scholarly terrain that is already well trod, O'Keefe and Reno consistently offer fresh insights and new perspectives. Letter & Spirit 2006 Will explain to a wide readership the principles of patristic exegesis. It will also waken admiration for the Fathers' unflagging fascination. -- Joseph T. Lienhard First Things 2007 A well-written and easily accessible introduction to aspects of patristic exegesis. -- Richard S. Briggs Theological Book Review 2006 An excellent starting point for engaging this rich body of early Christian literature. -- C. Thomas McCollough Religious Studies Review 2006
