This book examines the views of Greek Church Fathers on hoarding,
saving, and management of economic surplus, and their development
primarily in urban centres of the Eastern Mediterranean, from the
late first to the fifth century. The study shows how the approaches
of Greek Fathers, such as Clement of Alexandria, Basil of Caesarea,
John Chrysostom, Isidore of Pelusium, and Theodoret of Cyrrhus, to
hoarding and saving intertwined with stances toward the moral and
social obligations of the wealthy. It also demonstrates how these
Fathers responded to conditions and practices in urban economic
environments characterized by sharp inequalities. Their attitudes
reflect the gradual widening of Christian congregations, but also
the consequences of the socio-economic evolution of the late
antique Eastern Roman Empire. Among the issues discussed in the
book are the justification of wealth, alternatives to hoarding, and
the reception of patristic views by contemporaries.
