St. John Chrysostom—the “golden-mouthed”—has long been celebrated for his eloquent articulation of the Christian faith and exposition of the Bible. Revered in both East and West, only St. Augustine has more works that survive to the present day from the Early Church Fathers.
This collection gathers together Chrysostom’s works from the celebrated The Fathers of the Church Series. Including works—such as his homilies on Genesis—that have never before been translated into English, this set provides fresh translations of some of Chrysostom’s most stirring homilies.

John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, was an important Early Church Father. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities. After his death (or, according to some sources, during his life) he was given the Greek surname chrysostomos, meaning “golden mouthed,” rendered in English as Chrysostom.
