Description
John Chrysostom and the Jews: Rhetoric and Reality in the Late 4th Century by Robert L. Wilken presents a new interpretation of John's homilies against the Jews, set against the complex cultural landscape of fourth-century Antioch. In this study, Wilken examines the sermons of John Chrysostom, a key figure in the early church, within the context of intense religious rivalry and lively polemic between Christians, Jews, and pagans. The Roman emperor Julian's attempt to rebuild the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem in 363 added to the atmosphere of tension. By reevaluating John's homilies, Wilken sheds new light on the continued importance of Judaism in late antique society and its impact on the history of Christianity. This book will be of interest to historians and theologians seeking a fresh understanding of this pivotal period.
