<br/><br/> Pauline Allen translates Frederick Field's text of John Chrysostom's twelve homilies on Paul's Letter to the Colossians. 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 salves and their treatment as well as various aspects of raising healthy, educated childen. The themes of conflict between pagans, Jews, and Christians in the community, as well as the distinction between rich and poor in late antiquiaty, 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.
