"Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind . . . "

Julian of Eclanum (c. 386-455) was the bishop of Eclanum, located in modern-day Italy. In this volume in IVP's Ancient Christian Texts series, Thomas Scheck provides a new translation of Julian's commentaries on the biblical books of Job and those of three Minor Prophets: Hosea, Joel, and Amos. Here, readers will gain insight into how early Christians read texts such as God's speech to Job, Hosea's symbolic representation of God's unending love for a faithless Israel, Joel's anticipation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and Amos's call for social justice.

While Julian was a well-known leader among the Pelagians, whose theology was famously opposed by Augustine of Hippo and ultimately determined to be outside the bounds of the church's orthodoxy, the Pelagian movement was a significant element within the early church. And although Julian's Pelagianism does not fundamentally affect the commentaries presented in this volume, Christians can gain insight into the truths of Scripture by reading the text alongside others, even when--or perhaps especially when--we might disagree with other aspects of their beliefs.

Thomas P. Scheck (PhD, University of Iowa) is associate professor of theology at Ave Maria University in Ave Maria, Florida. He is the author of Origen and the History of Justification and Erasmus's Life of Origen. He is also the editor of two volumes of Jerome's Commentaries on the Twelve Prophets and the translator for Origen's Homilies on Numbers in IVP's Ancient Christian Texts series as well as the translator of Origen: Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans and St. Jerome: Commentary on Matthew in the Fathers of the Church series and Jerome's Commentaries on Isaiah and Ezekiel in the Ancient Christian Writers series.
