J. H. W. G. Liebeschuetz compares the personalities and the
respective careers of two of the greatest of the early Christian
Fathers, Ambrose and John Chrysostom. While the statesmanlike
Ambrose ended his life as a pillar of the Western establishment,
Chrysostom, the outspoken idealist, died in exile. However, their
views and ideals were remarakably similar: both bishops were
concerned with the social role of the Church, both were determined
opponents of what they called the Arian heresy, and each attracted
a dedicated following among his urban congregation. This
similarity, Liebeschuetz argues, was due not to the influence of
one on the other, but was a consequence of their participation in a
Christian culture which spanned the divide between the Eastern
(later Byzantine) and Western parts of the Roman Empire. The
monastic movement figures throughout the book as an important
influence on both men and as perhaps the most dynamic development
in the Christian culture of the fourth century.
