I agree. You don't find too many Bible studies that include the interpretations of the Fathers. That is why I enjoy the Navarre Bible series. Are you aware of any other Bible study books or notes that detail the Father's interpretations of Scriptures? I know Aquinas wrote one for the Gospels (some day, I'll buy it! It is about $100), but I am not familiar with any that cover particular books of the Scripture, like Romans. The other option is much more difficult, to sort through all of the Fathers who happen to write something about a book. Anyway, the Fathers are an excellent place to go for Bible studies - and I enjoy using their quotes when I am teaching - this gives the people a sense of history and unity with those people from long time ago (plus, they know it is not my theology, but the Church's theology).

Off hand, no. Much is available on line, however and the Fathers often wrote sermons about specific passages or books of the Bible. The source we use is a complete set of the writings of the Fathers we have in the Church library. It takes up 2-3 large shelves and is quite expensive, but very well indexed and cross referenced.
