Homilies of Saint John Chrysostom: Second Corinthians

by Saint John Chrysostom

Preached in Antioch, these sermons show Chrysostom interpreting the Apostle Paul not as a distant figure but as a living example for believers. He reads the letter as a mirror of Christian leadership and discipleship—how endurance under trial proves the reality of faith. His sermons combine careful exegesis with pastoral tenderness, confronting pride, discouragement, and the temptation to despair. This revised edition preserves the precision and faithfulness of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers translation while updating its language for readability today. Chrysostom’s voice emerges with renewed clarity: wise, compassionate, and urgent.
