<b>Bringing up the heavenly citizens: John Chrysostom and the <em>Christon Paideia</em></b> - doi: 10.4025/actascieduc.v32i1.9467
Abstract
John Chrysostom was undoubtedly one of the most influent Christian intellectuals in the Later Roman Empire. Owing to the amazing bulk of his texts, including more than nine hundred homilies and several letters and theological tracts, as well as his intervention as an active religious leader in Antioch and Constantinople, the two most important Roman eastern cities in antiquity, he became an outstanding personality in the History of the Church. Ordained as presbyter in Antioch in 386, John was allowed by his bishop, Flavian, to preach in the Antiochene churches. Henceforward, he started carrying out an intense missionary activity in order to spread Christian values amidst his congregation. In this article, we intend to discuss the educational "program" conceived by John Chrysostom based on the analysis of De innani gloria, a tract delivered by 393 in which the author explains to parents how they can neutralize the effect of the Greco-Roman modus Vivendi - an everlasting source of frailties and immorality according to the author - on children.
