St John Chrysostom's Teaching On Inspiration in 'Six Homilies On Isaiah'

St John Chrysostom's Teaching On Inspiration in 'Six Homilies On Isaiah' 4 ST JOHN CHRYSOSTOM'S TEACHING ON INSPIRATION IN 'SIX HOMILIES ON ISAIAH' BY ROBERT HILL The six homilies on Isaiah - on the opening verses of chapter 6, in fact, stopping short even before the prophet's vocation - seem to have at- tracted little interest.

Abstract

4 ST JOHN CHRYSOSTOM'S TEACHING ON INSPIRATION IN 'SIX HOMILIES ON ISAIAH' BY ROBERT HILL The six homilies on Isaiah - on the opening verses of chapter 6, in fact, stopping short even before the prophet's vocation - seem to have at- tracted little interest. The lexicons and manuals evidently find the contents and usage of these homilies outside their compass; Quasten is content to cite the Migne edition alone and raises no doubt about their authenticity. It is true that from a doctrinal viewpoint, and in particular from the viewpoint of considered theorising on the inspired Word of God, these homilies are no richer and are perhaps less rich than one would expect of a pastor's handling of a portion of the Bible. To a degree, then, one can comprehend the lack of interest and concur in Bardy's verdict on the saint's homilies: "Il est avant tout un pr6dicateur, soucieux de tirer des Ecritures des lecons de morale a l'usage de ses auditeurs; et s'il a comment6, au cours de son ministere pastoral, un bon nombre de livres de la Bible, il n'a jamais cherche a d6finir ses regles d'interpr6tation. 11 retient surtout, dans les Livres saints,
