S2 E4 | Samantha Miller | Chrysostom's Devil
from The Alabaster Jar · host Dr. Lynn Cohick
For many Christians today, the notion that demons should play a role in our faith—or that they even exist—may seem dubious. But that was certainly not the case for John Chrysostom, the "golden-tongued" early church preacher, and theologian who became the bishop of Constantinople near the end of the fourth century. Dr. Samantha L. Miller has found demons and the devil permeate his rhetoric. But to what end? Lynn Cohick and Samantha Miller unpack how understanding the role of demons in Chrysostom's soteriology gives us insight into what it means to be human and what it means to follow Christ in a world fraught with temptation and danger. Chrysostom's golden words continue to demonstrate relevance to Christians in today's world. Buy your copy of Chrysostom's Devil today - https://bit.ly/AJPodcast_SamanthaMiller
