Issue 44. John Chrysostom — Legendary Early Church Preacher
Summary
Perhaps the most remarkable yet unknown figure in church history, John Chrysostom lived and died preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. His preaching led to his posthumously assigned surname, Chrysostom: "golden mouth." The same preaching also exiled him twice, the second exile being a 3-year stretch under armed guard which would lead to his death. This issue of Christian History & Biography chronicles these and so many more stories of Chrysostom's bold and compassionate gospel ministry.
