John Chrysostom (349–407, Greek: Ιωάννης ο Χρυσόστομος, Ioannes Chrysostomos) was the archbishop of Constantinople. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Liturgy of St. John Chysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities. After his death he was given the Greek surname chrysostomos, "golden mouthed", rendered in English as Chrysostom.[2][1]
The quote is taken from "Joseph Smith: Restoring the Ancient Church" which I have linked previously on this thread. (From lds FAIR) I'm still reading it. It can be tough to make sense of some of the Greek philosophy which infected later Christianity but it does a good job of laying out the beliefs of early Christians.
Thanks. I haven’t had time to read it all yet. I’m looking forward to it, it’s quite and in-depth peice.
Thanks for pointing it out!
