• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first major study on providence in the thought of John Chrysostom(ca. 350â 407 CE), a popular preacher in Antioch and then archbishop of Constantinople. Exploring the intersection of theology, exegesis, and pastoral care in Chrysostom's thought, it argues that he uses biblical narratives of providence as a means of consolation.
