About this product

Product Information

Contrary to the portrayals of Chrysostom as a theologically impaired, moralizing sophist, this book argues that his thinking is remarkably coherent when it is understood on his own terms and within his culture. Chrysostom depicts God as a teacher of philosophy who adaptably guides people toward salvation. Since the theme of divine adaptability influences every major area of Chrysostom's thought, tracing this concept provides a thorough introduction to his theology. It also explains, at least in part, several striking features of his homilies, including his supposed inconsistencies, his harsh rhetoric and apparent political naivete, his intentionally abridged and exoteric theological discussions, and his lack of allegiance to an "Antiochene school." In addition to illuminating such topics, the concept of adaptability stands at one of the busiest intersections of Late Antique culture, for it is an important idea found in rhetoric and discussions about the best methods of teaching philosophy. Consequently, adaptability is an ingredient in the classical project of paideia, and Chrysostom is a Christian philosopher who seeks to transform this powerful tradition of formation. He gives his Christianized paideia a theological foundation by adapting and seamlessly integrating traditional pedagogical methods into his reading and communication of Scripture. David Rylaarsdam provides an in-depth case study of one prominent leader's attempt to transform culture by forming a coherent theological discourse that was adapted to the level of the masses.

Reviews
"Fundamentally, this study is a constructive contribution to the interpretation of John Chrysostom." --Theology "This study is exceptionally well situated within both Chrysostom studies and broader studies of late Antiquity and patristics. Rylaarsdam has built on existing scholarship in a deft and elegant way. The book is also an excellent example of historical theology... this rich study will be fruitful for Chrysostom scholars and for anyone interested in Christian uses of ancient rhetoric, as well as the inculcation of developing Christian theology in a late fourth-century setting." --Church History and Religious Culture "This work by Rylaarsdam is a worthy introduction to the thought of Chrysostom for any serious student of early Christian theology. With technical precision and a wide range of conversation partners, this volume is a serious contribution to Chrysostom studies."-- Fides et Humilitas, "Fundamentally, this study is a constructive contribution to the interpretation of John Chrysostom." --Theology, "[F]or readers who are eager to learn from the church fathers, Rylaarsdam's volume is instructive, particularly when it comes to all that is involved in being in the world but not of it, in meeting people where they are in order to help them progress to the next level in faith and love. Readers will come away with an appreciation for Chrysostom's task as a preacher and pastor and for the enormity of this task today."--Keith D.
