"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.
