About this title

Synopsis

In this volume, essays are brought together that map the preaching landscape in the late antique Latin West from the perspective of religious education. In Late Antiquity, sermons were the central institution through which religious education was imparted. Each contribution focuses on one preacher and addresses one of four key questions: What role did the Holy Scriptures play in preaching? How were hagiographic texts interpreted in the sermon? How were Christian ethics taught in sermons? And how did dogma enter the sermon? Reflections on current research into preaching and on the role of Augustine for late antique preachers round off the individual studies. Since preaching is highly dependent on its local and historical contexts, the volume collects a variety of perspectives that offering a nuanced picture of the genre of preaching that has shaped Christian communication from Late Antiquity to the present day.
