“It is not very often that one has the privilege to read a work such as this—so well argued, so beautifully written, and making such a crucial contribution to scholarship. This book beautifully presents and critically analyzes the apparent tension between John Chrysostom and his audience regarding his expectations for their domestic religious devotion.” —Chris L. de Wet,author of Preaching Bondage: John Chrysostom and the Discourse of Slavery in Early Christianity “In beautiful prose and with brilliant insights, Blake Leyerle lays open the domestic world of an ancient urban Christianity as it struggled to accept or resist John Chrysostom’s strange teachings.” —David Frankfurter,author of Christianizing Egypt: Syncretism and Local Worlds in Late Antiquity
