Reviving John Chrysostom: Timeless Lessons for Today

Lesson Transcript

So, for the remainder of this lesson, we will be going back in time, and I will be delivering a sermon to you that was once spoken by John Chrysostom sometime in the 400s. Over the past six months, I've studied this material over and over, and I've been listening to it. I don't know how many hundreds of times I've consumed this. I kept going through it until I was able to make every logical connection that I think he was trying to make.

And then what I've done is I've contemporized this, meaning I've rewritten it to be able to deliver it in some way that I speak to be understood in our modern language, while preserving to the best of my ability what he said.
