David C. Ford lets John Chrysostom speak for himself, bringing the wisdom of the ancient Christian father to bear on gender issues. Drawing heavily from Chrysostom’s homilies and other primary sources, he illuminates Chrysostom’s teachings on marriage, sexuality, gender roles in the family and church, and his view of women in general. Analyzing Chrysostom’s views on these issues, Ford shows that the Early Fathers were not the misogynists some have claimed.
