Description

In the 4th-century, St. John Chrysostom (347 - 407), the great preacher of Byzantine Constantinople, delivered these twelve sermons on St. Paul's letter to the Colossians, providing a detailed verse-by-verse study of one of the most important letters in the New Testament. The homilies capture the fiery style of preaching characteristic of the early church in Asia Minor. Originally composed and delivered in ancient Greek this English translation is taken from the larger work: "The homilies of S. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, on the epistles of S. Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians." Oxford: J. Parker; London: Rivingtons, 1879. by St. John Chrysostom, translated by John Albert Broadus (1827-1895). The original footnotes and Bible references have been preserved. This version includes illustrations of the Biblical figures mentioned in the epistle.
