John Chrysostom, Homilies on Colossians

Frederick Field's translation of John Chrysostom's twelve homilies delves into the issue of angel worship in Colossae while illuminating everyday life in the late Roman period. The text addresses the treatment of slaves, child-rearing practices, and the conflicts between pagans, Jews, and Christians, alongside the socioeconomic divides of late antiquity. This volume is a vital resource for scholars and students exploring church history and the cultural dynamics of the time.
