Preaching Bondage

John Chrysostom and the Discourse of Slavery in Early Christianity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Adding unprecedented depth to analysis of the ancient rhetoric of slavery, Chris de Wet develops a coherent and convincing argument about the biopolitics of ancient slavery through the thought of one major Christian thinker. Preaching Bondage will prove to be a generative work of scholarship, and not only for those concerned with the fourth century. Flat out, there are no comparable works."--Jennifer Glancy, Professor of Religious Studies at Le Moyne College and author of Slavery in Early Christianity and Corporal Knowledge: Early Christian Bodies "Preaching Bondage is the first accessible, book-length study of John Chrysostom's thoughts on slavery. While slavery in the ancient world has been a topic of scholarly interest for some time, its late antique version has been less addressed. De Wet's study is very welcome and will fill a real need. The work positively bristles with fascinating connections and intriguing insights."--Blake Leyerle, Associate Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame
