Saint John Chrystostom (347–407)
Author of Six Books on the Priesthood
About the Author
John Chrysostom, born at Antioch towards 347, was a great genius and his poweful eloquence earned him the surname of Chrysostom, or golden mouthed. He is known for his preaching, exegesis, and liturgical reforms. His skills were especially directed to the instruction and moral reformation of the show more people of Antioch. In terms of scriptural exegesis, he spoke for a literal interpretation of the text against the allegorical school that was prominent in Alexandria. With St. Athanasius, St. Gregory of Nazianzen, and St. Basil, he forms the group of the four great doctors of the Eastern Church. In 398 he became Patriarch of Constantinople. His courage in branding vice caused him to be exiled and ill-treated. John Chrysostom died at Comana in Pontus on September 14, 407. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

- Short biography
- John Chrysostom (c. 347–407, Greek: Ἰωάννης ὁ Χρυσόστομος), Archbishop of Constantinople, was an important Early Church Father. He is known for his 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. The epithet Χρυσόστομος (Chrysostomos, anglicized as Chrysostom) means "golden-mouthed" in Greek and was given on account of his legendary eloquence.

On Wealth and Poverty (2nd edition) by St John Chrysostom
This book reoriented my world view from thinking money brings freedom and believing money simply amplifies who you really are (if you’re good, with money you’ll do good things; if you’re bad, with money you’ll do evil) to seeing how God’s hand allows wealthy people and poor people to suffer and/or live in luxury for their salvation. An eye opening and humbling book full of wisdom and practical theology.
A obra em questão é o primeiro dos três tomos que abarcarão a totalidade do comentário de São João Crisóstomo (347-407 d.C.) ao corpus paulinum, isto é, às catorze cartas paulinas arroladas no cânon católico. São João Crisóstomo representa um dos maiores intérpretes do pensamento de São Paulo para o Oriente cristão.
Com as homilias de São João Crisóstomo (347-407) sobre as duas Cartas de São Paulo a Timóteo e a Carta a Tito, sobre a Carta aos Filipenses e a Carta aos Colossenses, sobre as duas Cartas aos Tessalonicenses e as Cartas a Filemon e aos Hebreus, conclui-se a obra, em três volumes, dedicada aos Comentários do grande doutor oriental ao Corpus Paulinum, isto é, às epístolas paulinas arroladas no cânon católico.
