Description
"Ancient sermons about the poor have often been neglected by scholars in favor of more "theological" themes. Susan R. Holman helps to redress that neglect with this study, the first book-length treatment in any modern language to focus exclusively on a collection of sermons about poverty, starvation, and disease by three leading Christian bishops of late Antiquity: Basil of Caesarea, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Gregory of Nyssa."--BOOK JACKET.
First Sentence
One morning in the sixth century, in a cave near the Jordan River, as Sisinius the monk was singing the liturgical office for "the third hour," a Saracen Christian woman entered his cave, took off her clothes, and lay down on the floor.
