The Complete Works of St. John

Le opere complete di San Giovanni Crisostomo (Versione di prova)

Saint John Chrysostom (349 - 407) was the Archbishop of Constantinople and an important Early Church Father. He is famous for his preaching, his Bible commentaries, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities. His preaching earned him the name Chrysostom, which in Greek means "golden-mouthed." Chrysostom was among the most prolific authors in the early Christian Church, exceeded only by Augustine of Hippo in the quantity of his surviving writings.

He is honored as a saint in the Oriental Orthodox, Eastern Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran churches. The Eastern Orthodox, together with the Byzantine Catholics, hold him in high regard as one of the Three Holy Hierarchs (alongside Basil the Great and Gregory of Nazianzus). In the Roman Catholic Church he is recognized as a Doctor of the Church.
