To be honest, I have been looking for good patristic commentaries on the Bible that I can read online for a while now, and so far catena has been my best result. And since I've seen Fr. Paul Truebenbach recommend Catena I've had even greater confidence with it. But I want to ask if there may be some other options. Apart from CCEL and the new Purify app which seems to be coming out (at least I think it's new), I don't know of any others.

​

On a side note since idk how to fit it within my message, one of the reasons I like catena is because the commentaries are straight from the Fathers. Rather than probably being paraphrased.

I was having a conversation a few days ago with one of my friends, and they told me that they struggle to read the Orthodox Study Bible. So I want to ask, what are some alternatives that would still contain our full canon but would be easier to read than the Orthodox Study Bible? Maybe the GNB with the deuteroconon? I do know that my parish has a copy of it, I just never thought about it much till now. Or might the GNB not be a good alternative?
