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.
In these homilies, John Chrysostom’s love for his flock and longing for them to receive God’s love are evident. He tenderly and fervently exhorts them to greater virtue, whether it be penitence, alms-giving, mindfulness of sin, or thankfulness.
