Abstract

This chapter introduces the themes and approaches exemplified in the volume’s chapters on John Chrysostom, his life and works. It argues that three trends, in particular, may be observed in the essays: redescriptive biography, which explores the discursively-constructed Chrysostom and leaves behind the “historical” John; development and utilisation of new and alternative interdisciplinary models for dealing with socio-historical data; and a reframing of how we view Chrysostom and theology. These trends, which are set here within their larger context, intertwine with and sometimes lead developments within the field of late antiquity.
