[Casey]

Does anyone know where I could acquire or read online John Chrysostom's On Providence?

 

[NaphtaliPress]

This article states it has not ever been translated into English.

Casey:

Surprising to find that only seven libraries in the US hold copies in English. The University of Illinois at Urbana has a French language edition. [as per a search of www.worldcat.org]

It also is not among the online offerings at The Saint John Chrysostom Webpage

Looks like its a dissertation Wayne; Calvin College has a copy.

I've been reading Learning Theology With the Church Fathers (IVP), and the author has two chapters dedicated to God's providence, which are a summary of Chrysostom's treatise, which the author translated, but I don't know how to find it.

Here's the card catalog entry for the copy at Calvin College.
