John Chrysostom's series of sermons against Jadaizing (386AD) is quoted in the book "Not Ashamed - the story of Jews for Jesus" p51. The author goes on to assert that Chrysom was arguing against those who were in the church and practicing circumcision.
Such parts of Chrystom's sermons as I have found online show he was arguing against circumcision practiced by the Jews, he does not give direct evidence of it occurring in the church.
Can anyone provide a full text (online) or confirm that circumcision is inferred (by the author) without direct evidence.?
It is quite common today for a preacher to explain why we should not circumcise today. This by way of clarifying not fighting against the baptist circumcision faction.
