Overview

This text is an early Christian homily on Psalm 75, offering a theological interpretation of the biblical passage. The author explores the idea that God was initially known in Judea, but through Christ, God's name and presence became great throughout the earth. The homily distinguishes between a physical, earthly Jerusalem and a spiritual one, emphasizing that God's true dwelling place is in peace and within the soul of the righteous. It uses scriptural references to discuss resisting evil, the nature of wealth (both physical and spiritual), and the human struggle with anger, ultimately connecting these themes to God's judgment and the importance of seeking spiritual peace and casting out the "spirit of the rulers of this age."
