The Cult of the Saints

The cult of the saints is a phenomenon that expanded rapidly in the fourth century, and John Chrysostom's homilies are important witnesses to its growth. In this volume, Wendy Mayer investigates the liturgical, topographical, and pastoral aspects that marked the martyr cult at Antioch and Constantinople in John's time.

Wendy Mayer is a Queen Elizabeth II Research Fellow and Deputy Director at the Centre for Early Christian Studies at Australian Catholic University.
