“Adding unprecedented depth to analysis of the ancient rhetoric of slavery, Chris de Wet develops a coherent and convincing argument about the biopolitics of ancient slavery through the thought of one major Christian thinker. Preaching Bondage will prove to be a generative work of scholarship, and not only for those concerned with the fourth century. Flat out, there are no comparable works.”—Jennifer Glancy, Professor of Religious Studies at Le Moyne College and author of Slavery in Early Christianity and Corporal Knowledge: Early Christian Bodies “Preaching Bondage is the first accessible, book-length study of John Chrysostom’s thoughts on slavery. While slavery in the ancient world has been a topic of scholarly interest for some time, its late antique version has been less addressed. De Wet’s study is very welcome and will fill a real need. The work positively bristles with fascinating connections and intriguing insights.”—Blake Leyerle, Associate Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame
