NPNF1-09. St. Chrysostom: On the Priesthood; Ascetic Treatises; Select Homilies and Letters; Homilies on the Statutes

by Philip Schaff (ed.)

Philip Schaff (1819–1893) was a Swiss-born church historian who taught at Mercersburg and later at Union Theological Seminary in New York. A bridge between German scholarship and the English-speaking church, he founded the American Society of Church History and edited vast reference works. Our library's Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers series — which he conceived and edited — together with his History of the Christian Church and Creeds of Christendom, came largely through his labors.

About this book

A volume of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers series, edited by Philip Schaff, introducing the writings of John Chrysostom. It includes his dialogue On the Priesthood, a searching account of the pastor's calling, together with ascetic treatises and selected homilies and letters. The volume displays the golden-mouthed preacher of Antioch and Constantinople in both counsel and pulpit.
