NPNF1-14. Saint Chrysostom: Homilies on the Gospel of St. John
and the Epistle to the Hebrews by Philip Schaff
With over twenty volumes, the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers is a momentous achievement.
Originally gathered by Philip Schaff, the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers is a collection of
writings by classical and medieval Christian theologians. The purpose of such a collection
is to make their writings readily available. The entire work is divided into two series. The
first series focuses on two classical Christian theologians--St. Augustine and St. John
Chrysostom. St. Augustine is one of the most influential and important Christian thinkers
of all time. In addition to reprinting his most popular two works--the Confessions and the
City of God--these volumes also contain other noteworthy and important works of St. Au-
gustine, such as On the Holy Trinity, Christian Doctrine, and others. St. John Chrysostom
was an eloquent speaker and well-loved Christian clergyman. St. John took a more literal
interpretation of Scripture, and much of his work focused on practical aspects of Christianity,
particularly what is now called social justice. He advocated for the poor, and challenged
abuses of authority. The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers is comprehensive in scope, and
provide keen translations of instructive and illuminating texts from some of the greatest
theologians of the Christian church. These spiritually enlightening texts have aided Christians
for over a thousand years, and remain instructive and fruitful even today!

Commentary on Philippians, Colossians, and Thessaloniansby John
Calvin
Commentary on Philippians, Colossians, and Thessaloniansis another impressive commentary
by Calvin on several Pauline epistles. Calvin is regarded as one of the Reformation's best
interpreters of scripture. He frequently offers his own translations of a passage, explaining
the subtleties and nuances of his translation. He has a penchant for incorporating keen
pastoral insight into the text as well. He always interacts with other theologians, comment-
ators, and portions of the Bible when interpreting a particular passage. Further, this volume
also contains informative notes from the editor. Calvin's Commentary on Philippians, Colos-
sians, and Thessalonians should not be ignored by anyone interested in those books or
Calvin himself.
