{"product_id":"2940157746780","title":"The Complete Works of St. John Chrysostom (36 Books)","description":"St. John Chrysostom was born in Antioch in the year 349 AD. His father died soon after his birth and he was raised by his deeply pious mother. Under her influence St. John became devout as well and took to studying scripture under the guidance of the bishop of Antioch who would later be the one to baptize him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSt. John was drawn to become a monk, and when he mother died he withdrew to the wilderness. There he wrote a number of works on the ascetic life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a number of years he withdrew into a cave to live in complete silence for two years until his health declined and he was forced to come back into the world. He was ordained a priest in 386, and eventually earned the name, 'Chrysostom' (Golden-Mouthed) for his brilliant sermons. He was known for his love of scripture, and many of sermons were compiled into commentaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 397 he was chosen to be the bishop of Constantinople, which was perhaps the most important Christian office of its day. Although an extremely busy position, he nevertheless continued his literary output in the form of sermons, which he delivered in the great church, Hagia Sofia. Unfortunately his often fiery sermons did not sit well with the empress. He was banished from the city once by the empress. Then a second time the empress\u003cbr\u003ehad him removed and forcibly walked to a remote location. St. John did not survive the journey and died on Sept. 17, 407.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSt. John Chrysostom left a tremendous mark on the Christian church. His liturgy is celebrated by Eastern Orthodox Christians almost every Sunday, and his homilies are considered by many to be the best every produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection brings together the full range of his extant works in the English language.
