Homilies on Romans

St. Chrysostom's commentary on the Epistle to the Romans is one of the closest and most argumentative of those he has left us... The rhetorical element in his commentary is of very great value. His ready apprehension of the effect intended to be produced by the style and wording of a sentence, is often the means of clearing up what might otherwise seem obscure or even inconsistent... The elaborate composition of these Homilies, and the close attention which it must have required, has been thought an indication that they must have been delivered before the Author was engaged in the cares of the Bishopric of Constantinople. - Summary Extracted from Preface
