AB The article contrasts two approaches taken from the homiletics on Stephen, interpreting Acts 6-7: in part I following the Chrysostomian interpretation, as available in the Homilies on Acts, in part II the approach from a pseudo-Chrysostomian writer. In part one the focus on the interpretation is revealed to be on Stephen as an exemplary Christian who is not dominated by the passions, showing his virtue in all circumstances, this in stead of a presumable interpretation about martyrdom or other theological issues, e.g. the position of the Holy Spirit. In part II the pseudo-Chrysostom develops the passage of Acts 6-7 in the sense of anti-Judaic statement, leaving the topic of martyrdom unexplained as well.
