Abstract | John Chrysostom (354-407 A.D.) shares with many Patriarchs an ambiguous judgement concerning music. He is traditionally mentioned as responsible of the two principal liturgies of the Orthodox Church. Whereas the pagan music is condemned absolutely and without reservation, much value is seen in a music that would be Christian, and even spiritual and 'divine'. Images pertaining to music are willingly used by the theologian in order to make understood dimensions and states of the soul. It is obvious that the preacher has to acknowledge a real power of music, and tries to define his own position about the art and its effects. |
