Publisher Synopsis
"[Leyerle] takes the stubbornly conservative field of Chrysostom research down a much needed new path. Here contemporary theoretical approaches are applied in an effort to further elucidate the late antique past, particularly that feature so characteristic of the second half of the fourth century and which looms large in Chrysostom's writings, asceticism. . . . Her chapters on the late antique theater and on the realities of spiritual marriage are extremely useful, and her analysis of the rhetorical thrust of the treatises are masterly. . . . [This book] provides a considerable advancement in our understanding of Chrysostom's treatises on spiritual marriage, as well as a much needed stimulus for the application of contemporary methodologies to Chrysostom's writings."--Wendy Mayer, Journal of Early Christian Studies Read more...
