| dc.description.abstract | John Chrysostom’s homiletic in literary work of Gregory Tsamblak, thematic
and formal influences, on the example of the Sermon about five days
Gregory Tsamblak’s Sermon about five days (Sermon about Holy Communion) was written primarily on the basis of two homilies of John Chrysostom:
the sixth homily Against the Anomoeans (Concentration Blessed Philogonius)
and Concerning Lazarus, the discourse 3 (De Lazaro, concio tertia). In the
second part of the sermon dedicated to the problem of the incarnation of God,
several other texts of John were used: Against the Jews (Adversus judaeos),
the fourth homily Against the Jews, the eighth, tenth and eleventh homily
Against the Anomoeans (Contra anomoeos, homily 8, 10, 11), Homily on the
Nativity of the Lord (Homily de nativitate Domini), Demonstration Against
the Pagans (Contra judaeos et gentiles quod Christus sit Deus). Tsamblak
considered John Chrysostoms’s work as a universal and valid model of Christian homiletics. In his preaching the Slavonic author uses the general constructive, thematic and ideological schemes of John’s works (although he
usually uses other biblical quotes). He manipulates them by developing one
or the other motives, changing the interpretation of the situation and the
facts. In addition, it complements it with its own theological material and develops a new moral program, in comparison to early Christianity, according
to the requirements of his time | it_IT |
