1548 Saint John Chrysostom + ERASMUS Bible Commentary Pauline Epistles Galatians

“Happiness can only be achieved by looking inward & learning to enjoy whatever life has and this requires transforming greed into gratitude.”

― John Chrysostom

A rare 16^th-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 best works was his commentary on the New Testament Pauline epistles, a work on which Erasmus of Rotterdam wrote is own commentary. This 1548 volume of Erasmus’s commentary on Chrysostom was published in Paris by Poncet le Preux and contains commentary on 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians.
