The Pauline Formula “Induere Christum” with Special Reference to the Works of St. John Chrysostom
Overview
As part of his doctoral dissertation, Leo Joseph Ohleyer examined Paul’s formulaic, yet much disputed, “induere Christum,” a metaphor derived from putting on a garment. He relies heavily on John Chrysostom’s exegesis and interpretation of Romans 13:14 and Galatians 3:27 to supplement and support his point of view, devoting an entire chapter of his dissertation to an examination of Chrysostom’s thoughts and ideas. His work provides a historico-literary investigation of the text, providing arguments for and against Chrysostom’s text.
