Seventeen Beautiful Homilies,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Homilies on Genesis, 1-17 (The Fathers of the Church, 74) (Paperback)
This book is the collection of Seventeen different Homilies composed by Saint John Chrysostom during Lent some in around 385 AD. These homilies focus on the texts found in the first three chapters of the book of Genesis but they demonstrate Chrysostom's skill at integrating Biblical texts and themes as a whole.Saint John Chrysostom was an amazing homilist, with profound skill at Biblical interpretation and pastoral advice based on his understanding of scripture. This volume abounds with both aspects of his thought and skill. As a result, this is useful reading for either people interested in Patristics, specifically Patristic thought on Genesis, or for those interested in Late Antique history. Much has been written on Chrysostom but honestly, there is nothing better than going to the source and this is a very readable English translation, though without the Greek original. Highly recommended. |
