S. John Chrysostom On The Priesthood: In Six Books (1866) is a book written by John Chrysostom, a prominent bishop and theologian in the early Christian Church. The book is divided into six sections, each focused on a different aspect of the priesthood. In the first book, Chrysostom discusses the importance of the priesthood and the qualifications required to become a priest. He emphasizes the need for moral character and spiritual maturity in those who hold this office. The second book explores the duties and responsibilities of the priest, including preaching, teaching, and administering sacraments. Chrysostom stresses the importance of humility and compassion in carrying out these duties. The third book focuses on the challenges and temptations that priests may face, including pride, envy, and greed. Chrysostom offers advice on how to resist these temptations and maintain a strong spiritual foundation. In the fourth book, Chrysostom discusses the relationship between priests and their congregations. He emphasizes the importance of building strong, caring relationships with parishioners and serving as a spiritual guide and mentor. The fifth book explores the role of the priest in the wider Christian community, including working with other clergy and participating in church councils and synods. Finally, in the sixth book, Chrysostom reflects on the joys and rewards of the priesthood, including the opportunity to serve God and help others grow in their faith. Overall, S. John Chrysostom On The Priesthood: In Six Books is a comprehensive guide to the priesthood and a valuable resource for anyone interested in Christian theology and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
