Digital Verbum Edition
Archbishop of Constantinople and influential early Church Father John Chrysostom was known for his eloquent preaching. His homilies were not written, but spoken to the people, often transcribed by listeners for wider distribution. Direct and personal in style, his teaching often targeted Christian involvement in the materialism and paganism surrounding the early church.
This collection contains hundreds of homilies from “the golden mouth.” Rich with practical examples and analogies, his homilies display his aptitude for reaching laypeople as well as developing complex theological substance that helped to formulate early Christian thought. Compiling 15 volumes that contain hundreds of homilies and discourses, this collection showcases Chrysostom’s lasting legacy, making it accessible and edifying for Christians today.
