Here is an interesting Bible commentary that I ran across online:
Catena in connection with Christian Theology particularly means “a connected series of texts written by early Christian theologians.” This Bible/Commentary allows you to select a Book, Chapter, and Verse of the Bible, click on that verse and see comments on that verse by early Christian writers. This could be a helpful tool if you want to easily locate what was said by Tertullian, Chrysostom, Irenaeus, Jerome, Bede, etc., etc.
Caveats.
- All so-called church fathers are not sound Bible believers; some were heretics (some more and some less).
- This appears to be Roman-Catholic-oriented, since it includes the commentary of the very much later Catholic theologian George Leo Haydock (1849) alongside the “church fathers.”.
- With these caveats, wise use of the Catena Bible might allow it a useful study tool.
