John Chrysostom, Homilies on Philippians (Society of Biblical Literature: Writings from the Greco-roman World) (Society of Biblical Literature (Numbered))

This volume offers a translation of sixteen homilies by the most famous preacher in Christian antiquity, John Chrysostom. These homilies on Paul s letter to the Philippians constitute the most comprehensive ancient surviving commentary on the letter in any language. The homilies have a direct and conversational style in which examples from daily life abound: children, the elderly, food, agriculture, seafaring, money, commerce, building, furniture, weather, illness, good health, animals, and slavery. Friendship themes, based on Paul s relationship with the church at Philippi, and Christology also figure largely in these homilies. This volume, with Greek text and English translation on facing pages, situates Chrysostom s homilies on Paul s letter to the Philippians in their historical, homiletical, rhetorical, and liturgical contexts.
