Person
John Chrysostom
about 349–407
Priest in Antioch, bishop of Constantinople
Attested. The career is well documented. Hagiography smoothed the politics.
John was the most famous Greek preacher of his generation. As bishop of Constantinople from 398 he attacked clerical luxury and the empress's circle. A synod of enemies deposed him in 403. He died in exile in 407. His sermons are a main source for Antiochene and Constantinopolitan liturgy and social life.
