[Zero Sum]

Interestingly enough, K, +John Chrysostom gives a good discussion on freedom in Christ in the same homily we were just discussing (in fact, this underscores his discussion on marriage). Small world, huh? :)

S, it's a good read, if for no other reason that to examine a different view on what it means to be free in Christ:

+John Chrysostom's Homily 19 on First Corinthians

[Kolokotronis]

As you may know, since I’ve mentioned it a number of times over the years, Homily XIX on Corinthians was given to me by my father, of eternal memory, just before my own marriage. Its been my “marriage guide” for the past 31 years. It works, by the way! I had forgotten about the wonderful discussion of freedom in Christ which it contains.

Our Western, really Enlightenment, concepts of freedom are rather different from those held by others at other times in other places, especially in the Orthodox East.

Thanks for the reminder!
