Homilies of Saint John Chrysostom: Acts of the Apostles

by Saint John Chrysostom

Saint John Chrysostom (c. 349–407 AD), bishop of Constantinople, was among the greatest preachers and interpreters of Scripture in Christian history. His Homilies on the Acts of the Apostles trace the growth of the early Church from Jerusalem to Rome, illuminating the courage of the apostles, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the enduring call of Christian witness. This modern revision of the classic Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers translation retains the dignity and precision of the original while updating archaic English for today’s reader. It offers a clear, accessible path into Chrysostom’s thought—one that preserves his pastoral tone and interpretive depth without sacrificing readability.
