STUDIA CHRYSOSTOMICA Synopsis

English summary: This volume comprises 13 papers on John Chrysostom, most of which were published during the last four decades (the first and the last were unpublished up to now). The golden mouth was already the focus of Adolf Martin Ritter's postdoctoral project on Charisma as interpreted by John Chrysostom and his time, completed in 1970 and published in Gottingen in 1972, which served as a starting point and a background for many of the discussions in these Studia Chrysostomica. Since the author is accustomed to placing a lot of emphasis on the discussion with other positions, this collection not only provides far-reaching insights into the actual academic discussion on John Chrysostom but also documents the progress of the author's thinking as far as this Church Father and the chances and difficulties of understanding him are concerned.


German description: Die 13 Studien uber Johannes Chrysostomus (ca. 349-407), dem bereits die Gottinger Habilitationsschrift Adolf Martin Ritters gewidmet war, sind seit 1969 entstanden und die meisten seit 1971 veroffentlicht worden; die erste und die letzte waren bislang unveroffentlicht. Sie beleuchten, nicht unkritisch, eine der Lichtgestalten der Kirchengeschichte, und das unter ganz unterschiedlichen, nicht zuletzt methodologischen, Aspekten. Dem Autor ist vor allem an dem Forschungsgesprach gelegen, das oft genug in Ansatzen stecken bleibt, daher nimmt dieses in den Studien einen breiten Raum ein. Wahrend die teilweise schon vor langer Zeit veroffentlichten Studien meist in der Substanz unverandert vorliegen, ist die Forschungsdiskussion (Sozialethik, Verstandnis des Monchtums bei Chrysostomus) an besonders strittigen Punkten bis in die Gegenwart fortgesetzt worden.
