About this listen

The Gospel according to Luke uniquely details an exchange between Christ and one of the thieves crucified with Him: "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise" (Lk 23.42–43).

This book gathers seventeen late antique and early medieval sermons centered upon the "good thief," who figured prominently in celebrations of Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Pascha. This compendium is a theological and rhetorical treasury, with contributions from early Christianity's most talented preachers in Greek and Latin, including John Chrysostom, Severian of Gabala, Proclus of Constantinople, Maximus of Turin, Fulgentius of Ruspe, Caesarius of Arles, and others. Many of these sermons appear in English for the first time.

Most relevant  
The selection and translation is excellent.
A fascinating window into how homiletical topics and insights developed from generation to generation, each dependent on the previous.
Deeply moving sermons, with my favorite being the latter 2 tentatively ascribed to Proclus of Constantinople.
Bizarre modern agenda in the introduction, but largely irrelevant to the enjoyment of the book.
Excellent reading.
Glory be to God!

Beautiful collection of homilies with insightful notes
