St John Chrysostom

Archbishop of Constantinople · c. 347 – 407 AD

Presbyter of Antioch and then Archbishop of Constantinople, St John was named Chrysostom, “the golden-mouthed”, for the power of his preaching: he is the greatest preacher of the ancient Church, and hundreds of his homilies survive. This growing collection translates them one by one. It opens with the homily he delivered in January 399, while Eutropius, the all-powerful consul who had himself tried to abolish the Church's right of asylum, clung as a fugitive to the altar of the Great Church.
