Summary
This chapter introduces the idea that there is an intersection between providence, biblical narrative, and consolation within John Chrysostom’s works – and thus within his thought. Additionally, it lays out the scholarly context and offers a brief, preliminary discussion of Chrysostom’s theology of providence within its philosophical and theological context.
