Volume 13 of a 14 volume set. These Homilies are less complete in exposition than those on earlier books of the New Testament, and in literary excellence will not compare with the Homilies on the Statues as the great preacher was burdened with administrative details, and harassed by Court intrigues. His sermons were often given with far less preparation than his earlier work. Contents: St. Chrysostom as a Homilist, Homilies on the Epistles of St. Paul the Apostle to the Galatians and Ephesians, Homilies on the Epistles of St. Paul the apostle to the Philippians, Colossians and Thessalonians, and Homilies on the Epistles of St. Paul the Apostle to Timothy, Titus and Philemon.

Volume 10 of a 14 volume set. The Homilies of St. Chrysostom on St. Matthew were undoubtedly delivered at Antioch and probably in the latter part of the time during which St. Chrysostom preached as a Presbyter. His main object is moral. He searches out with diligence both the meaning and the applications of particular passages. Some of these exhortations are on the subject of Almsgiving, The Controversy with Infidels, The Resurrection, The Theatres, and The Monks of the Mountains near Antioch.
