For many Christians today, the notion that demons should play a
role in our faith-or that they even exist-may seem dubious. But
that was certainly not the case for John Chrysostom, the
"golden-tongued" early church preacher and theologian who became
the bishop of Constantinople near the end of the fourth century.
Indeed, references to demons and the devil permeate his rhetoric.
But to what end? In this New Explorations in Theology volume,
Samantha Miller examines Chrysostom's theology and world, both of
which were imbued with discussions about demons. For Chrysostom,
she contends, such references were employed in order to encourage
Christians to be virtuous, to prepare them for the struggle of the
Christian life, and ultimately to enable them to exercise their
will as they worked out their salvation. Understanding the role of
demons in Chrysostom's soteriology gives us insight into what it
means to be human and what it means to follow Christ in a world
fraught with temptation and danger. In that regard, Chrysostom's
golden words continue to demonstrate relevance to Christians in
today's world. Featuring new monographs with cutting-edge research,
New Explorations in Theology provides a platform for constructive,
creative work in the areas of systematic, historical,
philosophical, biblical, and practical theology.
