"E notevole l'interesse di Giovanni Crisostomo al tema della parrhesia. Non solo per la frequente ricorrenza del termine nella sua produzione omiletica, ma soprattutto per la ricchezza contenutistica che egli le riconosce. Erede della semantica politica, che indicava nella parrhesia il diritto del cittadino ateniese a parlare liberamente nell'ekklesia, e di quella filosofica, che v'individuava invece la qualità di chi sapeva dominare le proprie passioni, il Padre antiocheno la legge alla luce della rivelazione biblica. Con la parrhesia egli perciò definisce da un lato il dialogo confidente con Dio da parte del discepolo di Cristo, e dall'altro la franchezza dell'annuncio kerygmatico così com'era stato condotto agli inizi del cristianesimo. Da vescovo di Costantinopoli, commentando il libro degli Atti, egli ha fatto largo uso della parrhesia, che i testimoni del Risorto avevano ricevuto in dono a Pentecoste per avviare e portare nel mondo l'annuncio della vittoria di Gesù Cristo sulla morte. In queste cinquantacinque Omelie, le uniche in lingua greca dei primi dieci secoli che ci siano giunte in forma integrale sugli Atti degli Apostoli, il predicatore fa risaltare le doti della franchezza apostolica presentandola come modello di evangelizzazione per ogni stagione ecclesiale"-- Back cover.

This volume discusses cosmological issues in Greek Patristic and Byzantine question-and-answer literature. By adopting this focus, it yields novel insights into both the (theological / philosophical) content and the (literary) form of the texts under scrutiny. How did Greek Patristic and Byzantine authors understand the cosmos of which they were a part and the world in which they lived? And what literary forms did they use to express their questions and answers on these issues? This collection of studies shows that, in order to bring out the important intellectual contribution of the authors under discussion, both ?cosmology? and ?question-and-answer literature? should be defined more broadly than expected. Several papers deal with the crucial corpora by Pseudo-Justin and Maximus the Confessor. Other authors under discussion include Philoponus, Pseudo-Caesarius, Michael Psellus, Severian of Gabala, and Nilus Doxopatrius. Attention also goes to the critical edition of question and answer literature, as well as to the Greek Patristic and Byzantine reception of cosmological questions and answers from Antiquity (i.c. Aristotle, Philo of Alexandria, Plutarch, and Iamblichus).
