Commentary On Daniel
Hippolytus

I have begun translating Hippolytus' Commentary on Daniel from Greek to English.  This is the oldest Christian commentary on scripture that we possess yet it has never been completely translated into English.  Some fragments of it were published in the 19th century and can be found in the Ante-Nicene Church Father Library here. For my translation I am using the GCS (Die Griechischen Christlichen Schriftsteller) series number NF 7 which supersedes the older SC (Sources Chretiennes)  edition.  In this work Hippolytus frequently speaks of the persecution he and his fellow believers endured and discusses the  prophetic fulfillment of Daniel's dreams.  It should be interesting, and I hope, inspiring.  I am posting updates on my blog.
