JOHN CHRYSOSTOM - JUNGHUN BAE GEBUNDEN

In recent years  there has been significant scholarly focus on John Chrysostom's appropriation
of ancient philosophical therapy  but relatively little attention has been devoted to his use
of this medicalized discourse in relation to almsgiving. Adopting an interdisciplinary research
between Greco-Roman philosophy and social ethics in early Christianity  Junghun Bae pursues a
giver-centered analysis which has largely been ignored in the previous research. He argues that
for Chrysostom almsgiving is one of the most powerful remedies for healing sick souls. The
concept of Christianized soul therapy is a new key framework for understanding his approach to
almsgiving holistically and has the potential to off er a new reading of the discourse on
almsgiving in late antiquity.
