"Leaves from St. John Chrysostom" by Saint John Chrysostom is a collection of selected works and writings translated by Mary H. Allies, published in the late 19th century. This compilation explores the life, teachings, and legacy of one of the most significant figures in Christian theology and preaching, St. John Chrysostom, who is celebrated for his eloquence and commitment to moral and spiritual integrity. The book not only delves into his historical background and ecclesiastical career but also presents a selection of his homilies exploring Christian doctrine, ethics, and pastoral concerns. At the start of the work, readers are introduced to the early life and heritage of St. John Chrysostom, including the influence of his mother, St. Anthusa, on his spiritual development. The text outlines his initial studies and ascetic practice, leading to his appointment as a preacher in Antioch, where his impactful sermons won him wide acclaim. The narrative foreshadows the challenges he faced, including his rise to the position of Archbishop of Constantinople and the subsequent conflicts with the established church hierarchy and the imperial court, setting the stage for the exploration of his teachings that follow in the collected writings.
