Homilies of Saint John Chrysostom: Hebrews

by Saint John Chrysostom

In these sermons, the “golden-mouthed” preacher brings both his rhetorical brilliance and his deep pastoral concern to bear on a letter whose message he calls “the crown of Paul’s writings.” With care and urgency, he unfolds the contrasts between old and new covenant, shadow and reality, ritual and fulfillment—always leading his hearers to the surpassing greatness of Christ. This revised edition updates the nineteenth-century Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers translation into smoother, contemporary English while preserving the integrity of the original text. Readers will find Chrysostom’s warmth, precision, and reverence fully intact, freed from the barriers of dated language.
