| Summary: | Caesarius of Arles was one of the most influential bishops in southern France in the early Middle Ages. These early centuries were important because it is then that most of Patristic theology, including numerous biblical commentaries, were assimilated and transmitted for later generations. One of the most popular biblical books that was commented upon extensively was the book of Job. Caesarius was one of the heirs to this Patristic literature, but he did not merely imitate his predecessors without making any novel contributions to Jobean exegesis. This article explores to what extent Caesarius was indebted to the Patristic Fathers, and the creative way in which he employed the motif of Job in his Sermones. |
