Sermon On Alms (1917)

By John Chrysostom

Book Overview

Sermon On Alms (1917) is a religious text written by John Chrysostom, a renowned Christian theologian and bishop of Constantinople in the 4th century AD. The book is a sermon that focuses on the importance of giving alms, or charitable donations, to the poor and needy. Chrysostom argues that giving alms is not only a moral obligation for Christians, but also a way to attain salvation and eternal life. He provides examples from the Bible and the lives of saints to illustrate the benefits of almsgiving, and warns against the dangers of greed and selfishness. The book is a powerful reminder of the Christian duty to care for the less fortunate and to live a life of compassion and generosity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
