Oecumenius is a Greek Church Father who was from the sixth and seventh century who wrote commentaries on most of the New Testament (Acts, Paul's Epistles, the Catholic Epistles, and the book of Revelation). It has been thought for a long time that Oecumenius was bishop of Tricca in ancient Thessaly. Others think he was a lay person from Isauria in Asia Minor. Until this English transition of his commentary on the Epistle of James, the only other English translation of a commentary by Oecumenius is his commentary on the book of Revelation. I have plans to translate as many of his commentaries as I can, Lord willing. His commentary style varies throughout all his works. In the Acts of the Apostles he relied heavily upon John Chrysostom. In his commentaries on the epistles of Paul, he took the role as a complier of quotes from various other earlier commentators and his commentaries were in the manner of a catena. His commentaries on the Catholic Epistles are in the manner of an ordinary commentary, but he did, as did most Early Church Fathers, relied upon the noble tradition of preserving the exegesis of their predecessors.
