The second book of this series "Theology in Public" presents a great figure, St. John Chrysostom, and his theological teaching.
One of the most significant sermons of Chrysostom is the one which bears the title "On the Devil." Chrysostom answers the timeless questions about the relationship between evil, demons, man and God. Who rules the things of this world? The answer seems simple, God. But why then is there so much suffering and injustice; why do the poor and the righteous man suffer and the unrighteous and rich man flourish; why do wicked men move unharmed and instead pious and honest men suffer? Since God is omnipotent and benevolent how can the power of evil in the world can be explained. Are demons an independent principle and their wickedness determining the progression of reality, and if so to what extent? On the pages of this homily, Chrysostom gives answers to these questions and also explains how the charity of God is combined with His righteousness.

Series: Theology in Public.
This series intends to present some basic texts from Saints of the ancient Church. Saints have both determined the development of our tradition and they inspire us in our spiritual life. Their teaching reached us through the Church's tradition and their personality is known to us through their texts, written in specific periods and geographical areas. Simultaneously, their texts respond to contemporary spiritual matters. Due to their ancient language (a very few texts have been translated into English) and due to the expertise needed and the secondary bibliography that someone should deal with in order to be appropriately informed, it is not easy to approach and study them. After a few years of experience teaching these text in a university setting, I realized there is a certain
distance, or gap, between Christians and Saints due to these technical issues. This series is an attempt to reveal the Christians the roots of their faith by presenting these texts in a simple language and an approachable way. I hope to expand the contribution of academic theology from the universities to the Christian community, making the lives, works, and thoughts of these Saints available to all.
