A master preacher expounds one of Scripture’s most profound books — with unmatched depth and clarity.

The Homilies on Hebrews reveal John Chrysostom at his most mature and spiritually focused, interpreting one of the New Testament’s richest and most challenging texts.

• See how the Epistle to the Hebrews comes alive through typology, exhortation, and pastoral insight
• Read Chrysostom in modern, accessible English—faithful to the original yet clear for today’s reader

In these sermons, the “golden-mouthed” preacher brings both his rhetorical brilliance and his deep pastoral concern to bear on a letter whose message he calls “the crown of Paul’s writings.” With care and urgency, he unfolds the contrasts between old and new covenant, shadow and reality, ritual and fulfillment—always leading his hearers to the surpassing greatness of Christ.

This revised edition updates the nineteenth-century Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers translation into smoother, contemporary English while preserving the integrity of the original text. Readers will find Chrysostom’s warmth, precision, and reverence fully intact, freed from the barriers of dated language.

Whether for study, devotion, or historical interest, Homilies of Saint John Chrysostom: Hebrews invites modern readers to hear again one of Christianity’s greatest preachers urging his congregation—and us—to “press on toward the prize” with endurance and faith.
