This volume offers a translation of sixteen homilies by the most
famous preacher in Christian antiquity, John Chrysostom. These
homilies on Paul s letter to the Philippians constitute the most
comprehensive ancient surviving commentary on the letter in any
language. The homilies have a direct and conversational style in
which examples from daily life abound: children, the elderly, food,
agriculture, seafaring, money, commerce, building, furniture,
weather, illness, good health, animals, and slavery. Friendship
themes, based on Paul s relationship with the church at Philippi,
and Christology also figure largely in these homilies. This volume,
with Greek text and English translation on facing pages, situates
Chrysostom s homilies on Paul s letter to the Philippians in their
historical, homiletical, rhetorical, and liturgical contexts.
