About the author

John Chrysostom (c. 347–407, Greek: Ἰωάννης ὁ Χρυσόστομος), 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 in 407 (or, according to some sources, during his life) he was given the Greek epithet chrysostomos, meaning "golden mouthed", in English and Anglicized to Chrysostom.

The Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches honor him as a saint and count him among the Three Holy Hierarchs, together with Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzus. He is recognized by the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church as a saint and as a Doctor of the Church. Churches of the Western tradition, including the Roman Catholic Church, some Anglican provinces, and parts of the Lutheran Church, commemorate him on 13 September. Some Lutheran and many Anglican provinces commemorate him on the traditional Eastern feast day of 27 January. The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria also recognizes John Chrysostom as a saint (with feast days on 16 Thout and 17 Hathor).

John is known in Christianity chiefly as a preacher, theologian and liturgist. Among his homilies, eight directed against Judaizing Christians remain controversial for their impact on the development of Christian antisemitism.

Actually I have downloaded his series of homilies on the Sermon on the Mount from Librivox and am listening to them. Already I can tell I want to re-listen. They are they best I have ever heard but require careful attention. Oh to have been in his congregation!

This discovery lead me to purchase The Complete Works of Saint John Chrysostom* for my kindle so that I'll be able to get a homily from St. John C. for every time I go to church or in case I am prevented from going due to illness. Wonderful!!!

*Need to add this into GR.

It took me a looooong time, but I made it through. I'm actually glad it took me awhile because it almost feels like I had a chance to really get to know St. John well. I can't wait to dive into another volume!

Beautiful sermons! St John's writing is modern, witty, and to the point. I made a new saint friend reading the writings of this 4th century theologian.

Solid throughout, very helpful on Matt. 24.

This has been a wonderful series of homilies to work through, and many of which I'll be pulling from not only now but for years to come. Chrysostom continues to live up to his name, "The Golden Mouth." Of course I do not agree with everything, but I think this work is wonderful, and will seriously challenge many of us today. Chrysostom often critiques his flock for their worldliness, and their focus on wealth over poverty, something I think at least in Western culture, is a problem for us today as well.

Great early church exposition of Matthew and one of the first of its kind, did not read the whole thing but I enjoyed what I finished reading.
