In 387 AD, Emperor Theodosius I imposed new taxes. In Antioch, the protests against the tax degenerated into a riot in which the statues of the imperial family were thrown down. Roman emperors viewed the crime of lèse-majesté in a serious light, and the Antiochenes dreaded that Theodosius would destroy the city in retaliation. It was in the aftermath of the Riot of the Statues that Chrysostom delivered a series of lenten sermons which have come to be known as The Homilies on the Statues.

When I first saw this recording, I was wondering if it really had the 21 homilies on the statues. Unfortunately, the sample is misleading. It made me think that it was a historical book. Then I realized that the sample was the introduction. This book does consist of the 21 homilies on the statues. I think there were 3 errors during the reading, but then again, I may have misheard the recording, or perhaps what she said was in the original documents? Regardless, it was enjoyable having someone else read the homilies to me instead of reading through them myself.

Chrysostom is Great
