The Eastern Cross/Library/Homilies on First Corinthians
First Corinthians deals with a troubled church: quarrels, scandal, lawsuits, questions about marriage and food, disorder at the Lord's Supper and the gifts of the Spirit. St. John Chrysostom's 44 sermons take each in turn.
His sermons on chapter 13, on love, are some of his best.
