#introductions We are a long-term project based in Berlin (Germany).
Started in 2011, the project edits #Bible #commentaries and other texts by key authors of #LateAntiquity: Eusebius of Caesarea, Cyril of Alexandria, Hesychius of Jerusalem, Procopius of Gaza, Severian of Gabala and Theodoret of Cyrrhus. Their commentaries and sermons are important in the history of #Christianity because of their powerful influence in the medieval and early modern periods, but they are also an intriguing branch of ancient literary #exegesis, and, as such, are of great interest for literary and historical studies, philology and philosophy.
The editions are published online (and open access) in the Patristic Text Archive (#PTA) and in print in the series "Die griechischen christlichen Schriftsteller (GCS)" (DeGruyter).

Philip Smith has a BA in #Theology, English & History, a Diploma in Theology, and teaching qualifications. He taught Religious Studies in school for 24 years. Then he was #teachingEnglish as a Foreign Language (#TEFL) for 15 years in an English Language School and serving as #Chaplain. https://www.easyenglish.bible/people/philip-smith

Philip joined the #EasyEnglish team in the early stage when the #Bible and #commentaries were being written. We pray for more #volunteers of his calibre for our current and future plans.

Mark Kirkpatrick was with #MissionAssist for 27 years. Whilst he was a member of the #EasyEnglish team he translated and wrote #commentaries on Jonah, Song of Songs, Hosea and Amos.
