John Chrysostom on Paul: Praises and Problem Passages (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781628375206)

John Chrysostom (ca. 347-407 CE), archbishop of Constantinople, was one of the most famous ancient Christian preachers. In this new book Margaret M. Mitchell collects twenty-five of Chrysostom's lesser-known sermons on Pauline passages as well as some that focus on Paul himself. Mitchell presents the Greek text and an original translation of each of these fascinating sermons and evaluates how Chrysostom dealt with some of the ethical, theological, historical, political, and literary problems present in Paul's letters.
