Do women have a public role? How do women bring glory to men? In this book, through his careful textual analysis of the writings of St. John Chrysostom, ? David Ford has opened a broad window of access to these questions that has not been looked through before. Look through this window, I plead with you. Let the wisdom found there illumine present dilemmas of sexuality, family, and marriage.
