| Summary: | The great merit of this study is its careful attention to exactly what Chrysostom was doing in his homiletic exegesis of Noah and the Flood, and its remarkable trawling of other early Christian exegetical treatment of this narrative in order to trace similarities and differences in traditions of interpretation. The book is the published version of an Oxford D.Phil. thesis presented in the sub-faculty of Ancient History. The author rightly contends that ‘patristic literature is not only the business of theologians, but of all who are interested in the propagation of ideas in late antiquity’ (p. 3). |
