The homiletic corpora of John Chrysostom and Severian of Gabala are
major yet understudied sources documenting late antique Christianity.
With their sermons on Genesis as focal point, the studies in this volume
contribute in many ways to advancing the state of the art. S. Voicu
offers a complete survey of research on Severian, including a check-list
of his authentic works. S. Kim, J. Oosterhuis-den Otter and L. Sels-S.
Van Pee contribute to text-critical research on Severian, P. Augustin to
that of Chrysostom. Read together, the articles by R. Bishop, W. Mayer
and P. Van Nuffelen offer fresh perspectives on the tensions between
Chrysostom and Severian. H. Buchinger discusses what can be gleaned from
their sermons about the liturgy at Constantinople. K. Papadopoulos
engages with Severian's biblical exegesis while S. Miller and P. Molinié
analyse the content of some of the sermons. As a whole, the volume
offers fresh insights in the writings and thought of two important late
antique Christian bishops and theologians and opens up many avenues for
further research.
