R. W. Stephens is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and legacy of Saint John Chrysostom, one of the most influential early Church figures, and delves into the broader context of the Church and the Roman Empire during the fourth century. It examines various aspects of Chrysostom's character, ecclesiastical contributions, moral teachings, and the turbulent times in which he lived. The opening of the work sets the stage for a detailed biographical exploration. It discusses the challenge historians face in understanding the personal lives of historical figures who made substantial impacts yet did not maintain a prominent public presence. The preface introduces the idea that the author's goal is to highlight Chrysostom’s contributions and character amidst major civil and religious events affecting the early Church. The narrative begins by contextualizing the moral and societal challenges of the fourth century, framing Chrysostom's life within this complex historical backdrop, and hinting at his role as a champion of Christian virtues against societal vices.
