The entry "New Testament Commentaries" refers not to a single author but to a vast tradition of Christian biblical interpretation spanning from the 2nd to the 19th century CE. This body of work began in the late antique period as early Christian theologians sought to explain and apply the texts of the New Testament. Contributors included bishops, monks, and scholars who wrote primarily in Greek and Latin.

The tradition encompasses many types of works, from verse-by-verse explanations to sermon collections. Key examples from the early centuries include Origen’s allegorical commentaries, John Chrysostom’s homilies, and Theodoret of Cyrus’s interpretations of Pauline epistles. Many works from this long period are lost, survive only in fragments, or are preserved in later compilations. The total of 44 works listed represents a modern selection of significant commentaries from across this history.

According to modern scholars, this commentary tradition is central to the history of Christian thought. It was used to define doctrine, counter alternative teachings, and guide preaching and worship. The interpretive methods developed by these early writers, balancing literal, moral, and allegorical readings, shaped Christian biblical study for over a thousand years. These works remain essential sources for understanding the development of theology and the historical reception of the New Testament.
