 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.

 Was St. John Chrysostom Anti-Semitic?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
With regard to St. John Chrysostomos, there are certainly very harsh condemnations of the Jews in his writings.
John's statements are expressions of theological and "ideological" (if I may use this somewhat inappropriate modern term) outrage, not of racism.
It very convincingly demonstrates not only that St. John Chrysostomos was not an anti-Semite, but that his supposed writings against the Jews are actually against the "Judaizers," a terrible mistranslation which convicts him unfairly of racism, when in fact his words are addressed to a theological element in the Christian Church.
