Wendy Mayer

[10] She has authored or co-authored six monographs and she has edited or co-edited volumes on John Chrysostom, Syrian Antioch, and religious conflict.

[14] She was co-founder and editor-in-chief, with Chris L. de Wet and Edwina Murphy, of the Patristics from the Margins series published by Brill Schöningh.

[23] She deconstructed the traditional sources used for dating and sequence of Chrysostom's works, leading to a substantially revised chronology.

[24] This was followed up by a number of articles co-authored with Pauline Allen that challenged traditional notions of early Christian preaching.

[25][26][27] Sever J. Voicu, then scriptor graecus at the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana described the team of Allen and Mayer as a "ciclone australiano" (Australian cyclone)[28] while in 2011, Alin Suciu described Allen and Mayer as "the two scholars from Australia who changed so much in our understanding of Chrysostom’s preaching activity".
