"Können Christen in der antiken Polis gemäß ihrem Glauben leben? Dieser Frage stellten sich die Kirchenväter immer wieder. Eine besonders prominente Stimme in dieser Diskussion war die des Johannes Chrysostomos (ca. 349-407), der in zwei der bedeutendsten Metropolen seiner Zeit, in Antiochia und Konstantinopel, wirkte. Johannes zählt zu den schärfsten Kritikern des urbanen Lebens in der Spätantike, vor allem der Theaterdarbietungen und Vergnügungen. Gleichzeitig musste er seinen Gemeinden Möglichkeiten aufzeigen, wie Christen den reinen Glauben in der Stadt bewahren und nach außen demonstrieren konnten. Jan R. Stenger untersucht das Bild des städtischen Raumes, das der Kirchenvater dabei entwarf, und die rhetorischen Strategien, mit denen er die Christianisierung und Humanisierung der klassischen Polis zu erreichen suchte. Er zeigt, dass die Stadt eine der zentralen Kategorien in Johannes' Theologie und Ansatzpunkt für die Verwirklichung einer christlichen Gesellschaft ist."--

In the third century, bishops who fled were considered cowards or, worse yet, heretics. On the face, flight meant denial of Christ and thus betrayal of faith and community. But by the fourth century, the terms of persecution changed as Christianity became the favored cult of the Roman Empire. Prominent Christians who fled and survived became founders and influencers of Christianity over time. Bishops in Flight examines the various ways these episcopal leaders both appealed to and altered the discourse of Christian flight to defend their status as purveyors of Christian truth, even when their exiles appeared to condemn them. Their stories illuminate how profoundly Christian authors deployed theological discourse and the rhetoric of heresy to respond to the phenomenal political instability of the fourth and fifth centuries.
