John Chrysostom was one of the most prolific and admired Christian
preachers of the fourth century AD. Operating in both Antioch and
Constantinople, he was constantly concerned for the spiritual
welfare of his flock, especially when he saw them surrounded by the
secular temptations of city life in the later Roman empire. His
preaching was tailored to combat these temptations and to encourage
his congregation to live more obviously orthodox lives. Previous
studies of Chrysostom have been almost entirely biographical in
nature. This book conducts a much needed thematic exploration of
his preaching, shedding light both on gender relations in late
antiquity and also on the practical processes by which Christianity
established itself as a dominant social structure in the Roman
Empire.
