1537 1ed Orthodox Saint
John Chrysostom On the Priesthood + Brixius Marburg
A rare 16th-century printing of works of John Chrysostom.
Chrysostom was one of the most important Early Christian Church authors and
preachers and is most remembered for his sermons and homilies. He preached on
many different subjects, but his most frequented topic was helping the needy.
Chrysostom calls for followers of Jesus to set aside their material desires to
help the poor, often in a way that shamed the rich and guilted them in to
giving.
“Do you pay such honor to your excrements as
to receive them into a silver chamber-pot when another man made in the image of
God is perishing in the cold?” (Chrysostom in Liebeschuetz)
One of his most important treatises was ‘On
the Priesthood’ in which he describes his experiences becoming a priest and
living as a priest. Interestingly, this work was popular during his lifetime as
he made references to it in his other works.
This extremely rare 16th-century edition of ‘On the Priesthood’ was published in
Marburg, Germany and includes commentary of Germanus Brixius
