Présentation de l'éditeur

With this volume, we begin theW orks of St. Chrysostom. It contains a sketch of his life and labors, the book on the priesthood, the letters toT heodore, the catechetical instructions, and a selection of ascetic treatises, special homilies, letters toO lympias and I nnocent, and the twenty-one Homilies on theS tatues. The translations are entirely new, or thoroughly revised, by the Rev. W. R. W. Stephens, whose services I was so fortunate as to secure. He has written the best biography of St. Chrysostom and is thoroughly at home in his writings. He has taken great pains, with the aid of two friends, the Rev. T. P. Brandram andR ev. R. Blackburn, and is responsible for the whole volume, with the exception of the Prolegomena, which I wrote myself, to correspond with the Prolegomena to the works of St. A ugustin. The other volumes of St. Chrysostom in this series will be devoted to his exegetical Homilies on the greater part of theN ew Testament. PHILIP SCHAFF. New York, March,
