Eight Homilies Against the Jews

In 'Eight Homilies Against the Jews' by John Chrysostom, the author presents a series of theological discourses denouncing the Jewish community, reflecting the anti-Semitic views prevalent in the Byzantine Empire during the 4th century. Chrysostom's literary style is characterized by powerful rhetoric and impassioned arguments, drawing from biblical scripture to condemn the Jews for their perceived rejection of Christ. The homilies are a reflection of the theological debates and tensions that existed between Christianity and Judaism in the early Christian era. Despite the controversial nature of the content, the text provides valuable insights into the religious rhetoric of the time and the development of Christian anti-Judaism. Chrysostom's work serves as a historical document that sheds light on the complexities of interfaith relations in the ancient world.
