Saint John Chrysostom is one of the greatest fathers of the Universal Church. He left us a huge literary and liturgical heritage. In his explanation of the Holy Scriptures, the saint showed how the Bible can become a true teacher of a person. Explaining the holy books, he often made digressions on contemporary social and moral topics, constantly emphasizing the connection of what was said in the Old and New Testaments with the spiritual life and actions of a Christian. This is what made his biblical interpretations so instructive both for his contemporaries and for all subsequent generations. The first book contains 44 conversations-interpretations of St. John Chrysostom on the Gospel of Matthew.
