| Summary: | In recent years much scholarly work has explored the topic of John Chrysostom as an ancient psychagogue. In these recent studies, however, relatively little attention has been devoted to Chrysostom's approach to almsgiving in relation to the cure of the soul. This article looks closely at Chrysostom's view of almsgiving and soul therapy within the context of ancient philosophical therapy. Analyzing Chrysostom's Homilies on Matthew, it demonstrates that for Chrysostom almsgiving is a crucial remedy for healing the sick soul. |
