"The Gospel According to St. Luke: A Critical and Exegetical Commentary" stands as a rigorous academic exploration of one of the foundational texts of the New Testament. Written by the esteemed scholar Burton Scott Easton, this work provides an in-depth analysis of the Gospel of Luke, focusing on the historical, linguistic, and theological complexities of the narrative. Unlike purely devotional guides, this commentary employs a critical method to examine the source material, the structure of the parables, and the unique perspectives Luke offers on the life and teachings of Jesus.

The volume is designed for scholars, students of theology, and dedicated readers who seek to understand the Third Gospel within its original cultural and literary milieu. Easton meticulously deconstructs the Greek text, offering insights into the linguistic choices of the author and the historical setting of the early Church. By addressing issues of authorship, chronology, and synoptic relationships, "The Gospel According to St. Luke" remains an essential resource for those interested in New Testament studies and the development of early Christian doctrine. This commentary illuminates the literary artistry and the profound message of Luke, bridging the gap between ancient text and modern critical understanding.

First Commentary on Mark: An Annotated Translation
This book is the first English translation of a text that Michael Cahill identifies as the first formal commentary on Mark's Gospel. Thought to have been written by an early seventh-century abbot, the commentary was for almost 1000 years attributed to St. Jerome and as such exercised incalculable influence on subsequent commentary. St. Thomas Aquinas drew on it freely in his <em>Catena Aurea</em>, for example, as did the highly influential Counter-Reformation commentary of Cornelius a Lapide. Renaissance scholarship demoted the work to the pseudepigrapha of Jerome and it clearly lost status as a result. However, the contemporary recovery of interest in the commentary tradition ensures a welcome for the publication of this translation. Irrespective of authorship, the text is important in the history of biblical interpretation--it is the first commentary on Mark, and has had wide influence in the Latin west. It is written in the allegorical style, and attempts to provide an application of the gospel text to the practice of Christian discipleship. It is characterized by the use of other biblical texts, and through the use of bold face and italics in the translation, the reader is able to see the extent of quotation, paraphrase, and allusion. The extensive notes are designed to provide information on source material and on the author's technique. As the first Markan commentary this text holds a unique place in the history of biblical exegesis. This translation will make it available to scholars who do not read Latin, and will serve as a useful introduction to early and medieval Bible commentary, both in format and content.
