Overview

Known for his eloquent preaching and public speaking, John Chrysostom was the archbishop of Constantinople and an influential early Church Father. He is recognized as a saint in the Orthodox Church and Catholic Churches and is one of the Three Holy Hierarchs along with Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzus. Given to extreme asceticism, he lived as a hermit for two years before poor health forced him to return to Antioch, where he was ordained as a deacon—and later a priest—of the church at Antioch. His insightful expositions and discourses on the Bible made him a popular orator in the Church, and he was appointed archbishop of Constantinople in AD 397.

Often regarded as the greatest preacher in the early Church, John Chrysostom’s homilies are a lasting legacy. In contrast to his day’s Alexandrian tendency towards allegory, John’s preaching was straightforward and practical, interpreting the Bible literally and applying it to everyday life.
