This article surveys John Chrysostom’s preaching on the biblical figures of Job and his wife. Chrysostom’s exegesis is situated into two contexts: (1) his related interpretation of Adam and Eve in Genesis, and (2) his theology of adaptable divine pedagogy and practice of medico-philosophical psychagogy. This twofold contextualization enables us to see how Chrysostom deploys these figures in his preaching as a means of re-ordering gendered marital relationships within the late antique Christian household and cultivating an attentiveness to the methods of divine pedagogy. In the final section of the essay, we highlight two spheres of domestic activity in particular—mealtime and grieving—over which Chrysostom seeks to gain control through the ritualized internalization of the examples of Job and his wife.
