Inhaltsangabe

""A Study In Greek Rhetoric: The Stylistic Influence Of The Second Sophistic On The Panegyrical Sermons Of St. John Chrysostom"" is a scholarly book written by Thomas E. Ameringer. The book explores the influence of the Second Sophistic, a movement in Greek rhetoric that emerged in the 1st century CE, on the panegyrical sermons of St. John Chrysostom, an early Christian theologian and preacher. The author analyzes the rhetorical techniques and stylistic features of Chrysostom's sermons, such as his use of metaphors, allusions, and rhetorical questions, and argues that they were influenced by the Second Sophistic. Ameringer also examines the social and cultural context in which Chrysostom lived and worked, including the political and religious climate of the late Roman Empire.Overall, ""A Study In Greek Rhetoric"" provides a detailed and nuanced analysis of the intersection between Greek rhetoric and early Christian preaching, shedding light on the ways in which ancient rhetorical traditions shaped Christian discourse. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of ancient Greek rhetoric, early Christianity, and the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
