While the fourth and fifth centuries produced many kinds of sermons, including festal, doctrinal, and expository, in this essay I discuss the catechetical and mystagogical preaching of four fourth-century preachers: Ambrose of Milan, Cyril of Jerusalem, John Chrysostom, and Theodore of Mopsuestia.
Though not a professional theologian, he is quite capable of writing about theology and does so lucidly (see his chapters on Theodore of Mopsuestia and Hincmar of Reims).
This particular volume is devoted to three of St Paul's most important letters and we have here in translation the words of Jerome, Origen, Augustine, John Chrysostom, Theodoret, Marius Victorinus and Theodore of Mopsuestia.
