Preaching Bondage introduces and investigates the novel concept of
doulology, the discourse of slavery, in the homilies of John
Chrysostom, the late fourth-century priest and bishop. Chris L de
Wet examines the dynamics of enslavement in Chrysostom's theology,
virtue ethics, and biblical interpretation and shows that human
bondage as a metaphorical and theological construct had a profound
effect on the lives of institutional slaves. The highly corporeal
and gendered discourse associated with slavery was necessarily
central in Chrysostom's discussions of the household, property,
education, discipline, and sexuality. De Wet explores the impact of
doulology in these contexts and disseminates the results in a new
and highly anticipated language, bringing to light the more
pervasive fissures between ancient Roman slave holding and early
Christianity. The corpus of Chrysostom's public addresses provides
much of the literary evidence for slavery in the fourth century,
and De Wet's convincing analysis is a groundbreaking contribution
to studies of the social world in late antiquity.
