 Georges Florovsky -- St. John Chrysostom: The Prophet of Charity
As Chrysostom used to say himself, "We have to accomplish the salvation of men by word, meekness, and exhortation." The whole meaning of human life for Chrysostom was in that it was, and had to be, a life in freedom, and therefore a life of service.
Chrysostom had his favorite dogmatic theme, to which he would constantly return first of all, the theme of the Church, closely linked to the doctrine of Redemption, being the sacrifice of the High Priest Christ; the Church is the new being, the life in Christ, and the life of Christ in men.
Chrysostom was a witness of the living faith, and for that reason his voice was so eagerly listened to, both in the East and in the West; but for him, the faith was a norm of life, and not just a theory.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. John Chrysostom
In this sudden way Chrysostom was hurried to the capital, and ordained Bishop of Constantinople on 26 February, 398, in the presence of a great assembly of bishops, by Theophilus, Patriarch of Alexandria, who had been obliged to renounce the idea of securing the appointment of Isidore, his own candidate.
Chrysostom complained of this to the prefect of the city, who reported to Eudoxia that the bishop had complained against her statue.

Fortunately, Chrysostom was not a " diplomat " in the sense in which the critics used the word; he was a character of unusual stature.
Actually a statement from Chrysostom himself contra-dicts this; he himself wrote in his letter 13 to Olympias (52, 611) that he had dwelt in Cucusus in the house of Dioscurus, while the Bishop of Arabissus was not named Adelphius but Troilus.
On the contrary, the works of Chrysostom " Ad viduam juniorem " clearly states that Anthusa was already a Christian.l3 Her con-victions and her manner of life were thoroughly Christian, as was also the education she gave her children; also Christian was the name of John, which Chrysostom had already borne before his baptism.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 96.1.7
What we find in the twenty chapters (counting the "Epilogue") is a programmatic description of Chrysostom's life and works into which learned information about changes in the political landscape, and late antique cultural, administrative and religious practices are introduced at appropriate moments in an unassuming and unobtrusive manner.
John Chrysostom was the foremost late antique preacher, and it is only through understanding the context and concerns of his sermons that we can begin to appreciate his historical significance.
What would have been most useful is a chronological synopsis of Chrysostom's career that is correlated with his datable works; either presented as an appendix or a table, it would have served beautifully as a guide to the perplexed.

After the death of his mother, Chrysostom fled from the seductions and tumults of city life to the monastic solitude of the mountains south of Antioch, and there spent six happy years in theological study and sacred meditation and prayer.

Owing to the strained relations between Chrysostom and the Empress Eudoxia, Severian had to declare for one of the parties, and, since he allowed himself to be swayed by personal interests, his choice was soon made.
Severian took advantage of Chrysostom's absence and was soon engaged in open conflict with Serapion, archdeacon and administrator of the ecclesiastical property and the episcopal palace, who remained true to Chrysostom.
Shortly after Chrysostom's return from his first exile, we find Severian with Acacius of Beroea and Antiochus of Ptolemais at the head of the party opposed to the archbishop.

In the course of the terrible troubles which overwhelmed St. Chrysostom's last years, he appealed for sympathy and for assistance to the bishops of the West, and principally to Pope St. Innocent, to whom he wrote a grateful letter in return for the efforts made on his behalf.

After three years of preparation he was baptized-an event that was the turning point of his life, leading to a complete renunciation of his former ways, even to the point of almost continual silence, so as to avoid the temptation to indulge in gossip or slander.

John -- whose surname "Chrysostom" occurs for the first time in the "Constitution" of Pope Vigilius in the year 553 -- is generally considered the most prominent doctor of the Greek Church and the greatest preacher ever heard in a Christian pulpit.
Prayer, manual labour and the study of Holy Scripture were his chief occupations, and we may safely suppose that his first literary works date from this time, for nearly all his earlier writings deal with ascetic and monastic subjects.
At the same time he continued his literary work, and we may suppose that he composed his most famous book, "On the Priesthood", towards the end of this period, or at latest in the beginning of his priesthood.
