Chrysostom concentrates in part on the apparently prevalent angel worship in Colossae (in modern Turkey). These homilies provide many details about everyday life in the late Roman period, such as the position of slaves and their treatment as well as various aspects of raising healthy, educated children. The themes of conflict between pagans, Jews, and Christians in the community, as well as the distinction between rich and poor in late antiquity, run throughout the homilies. This latest text and translation volume from WGRW is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in the history of the church.--Back Cover.Writings from the Greco-Roman World Sermons, Early ChristianSermons, Early Christianfast(OCoLC)fst01113248Early works.fastSermons.fastSermons.lcgftSermons, Early Christian.Sermons, Early Christian.227/.707Allen Pauline295511MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812355103321John Chrysostom, Homilies on Colossians4094214UNINA
