About this item

by Samantha L. Miller (Author)

The "Golden-Mouthed" preacher, John Chrysostom, was one of the most significant voices of his time. This introduction to Chrysostom's life and thought invites readers to come to know the fourth-century bishop as a friend in the communion of saints. Covering both his biography as well as major themes in his preaching--pastoral theology, asceticism, virtue (Christian living), wealth and poverty, salvation, and some problematic beliefs--this book asks readers what they might learn from Chrysostom today. Anyone who has heard of the famous preacher and wants to know more, or anyone who is simply looking for a wise guide to lead them closer to Christ, will find wisdom in these pages.
