- English abstract
- A frequent topic of debate among the early church fathers was the dangers posed to Christianity by urbanism. One especially vocal critic of urban life in late antiquity was John Chrysostom, who was active in two of the most vibrant metropolises of the time, Antioch and Constantinople.

Drawing on detailed analysis of his texts, it reveals the theological and ideological context for Chrysostom’s rhetoric
