On Wealth and Poverty (Saint John Chrysostom)

The Worthy House (Charles Haywood)

CHAPTER

Chrysostom's Suffering

The purpose of Chrysostom sermons is to address those who are troubled by the prosperity of the wicked and the poverty and tribulation of the righteous. He aims to guide, to provide the remedies, self-control for the rich and consolation for the poor. The failure to share one's goods with others is theft and swindle and defridation. Sabbath is not a day for idleness, but for spiritual work. No origins to our universalism for Chrysostom.
