In <i>On Providence</i> Theodoret of Cyrrhus utilises divine providence to justify the existence of poverty and wealth. This essay studies his reasoning, its relation to earlier patristic tradition, and his stance toward the socio-economic structure during a transitional period characterised by sharp socio-economic inequalities.
