This is not in any way to jettison historical-critical methods and the valuable insights that modern biblical scholarship has brought to light. It is simply to acknowledge what Pope Benedict calls for, a measured return to the interpretive methods employed by the Church Fathers as well as the theology that flowed from their exegetical labors. As he said, “The Church Fathers present a theology that still has great value today because at its heart is the study of sacred Scripture as a whole. Indeed, the Fathers are primarily and essentially commentators on sacred Scripture.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“Cures of the Soul and Correction of Heart: Pope Leo the Great on the Healing Power of Holy Week” by J.
