Overview
Nicene and Post Nicene Fathers, First Series, Volume XIV: Saint Chrysostom: Homilies on the Gospel of St. John and Epistle to the Hebrews. The Early Church Fathers is one of the most important collections of historical, philosophical and theological writings available in English to the student of the Christian Church. These documents provide the most comprehensive witness to the development of Christianity and Christian thought during the period immediately following the Apostolic Era. The Catholic edition of Early Church Fathers does not include the introductions, prolegomenae, and various interpretive comments made by the protestant editors of the Edinburgh edition. However, it retains all of the footnotes found in the printed editions.

Top Highlights
“And I say not how many sins are produced by wealth, and how many good things by poverty. But rather, neither wealth nor poverty is excellent in itself, but through those who use it. The Christian shines out in poverty rather than in riches. How? He will be less arrogant, more sober-minded, graver, more equitable, more considerate: but he that is in wealth, hath many impediments to these things. Let us see then what the rich man does, or rather, he who useth his wealth amiss.” (Page 374)
“What other rest then is there, except the kingdom of Heaven, of which the Sabbath was an image and type?” (Page 394)
“How then doth He prove that He is not a deceiver, but a Shepherd?” (Page 213)
“It is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing.’” (Page 169)
“For this is a disciple’s part, not to be over-curious about the assertions of his teacher, but to hear and obey him, and to wait the proper time for the solution of any difficulties. ‘How then,’ saith some one, ‘was it that the contrary came to pass, and that these men ‘went back’?’ It was by reason of their folly. For when questioning concerning the ‘how’ comes in, there comes in with it unbelief.” (Page 166)
