A Comparison Between a King and a Monk/Against the Opponents of the Monastic Life (Studies in the Bible and Early Christianity, Vol 13)

Although most of John Chrysostom's sermons have been available in translation for some time, many of his early ascetical works have remained untranslated. Hunter's volume helps fill this gap and joins several Chrysostom translations previously published by Mellen. The introduction and notes provide information on Chrysostom's life before his ordination and represent a major study of these early ascetical treatises in English.
