As priest of Antioch and bishop of Constantinople, he earned his reputation as an extraordinary preacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this first unified study of emotions in Chrysostom's writings, Blake Leyerle examines the fourth-century preacher's understanding of anger, grief, and fear. These difficult emotions, she argues, were central to Chrysostom's program of ethical formation and were taught primarily through narrative means. In recounting the tales of scripture, Chrysostom consistently draws attention to the emotional tenor of these stories, highlighting biblical characters' moods, discussing their rational underpinnings, and tracing the outcomes of their reactions. By showing how assiduously Chrysostom aimed not only to allay but also to arouse strong feelings in his audiences to combat humanity's indifference and to inculcate zeal, Leyerle provides a fascinating portrait of late antiquity's foremost preacher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Blake Leyerle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520345177\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520345171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Blake Leyerle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986499469567,"sku":"9780520345171","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d96dccb1-9397-4071-82bf-3cff42675ff5.jpg?v=1683283706","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-narrative-shape-of-emotion-blake-leyerle-9780520345171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
