Homilies on First Thessalonians
St. John Chrysostom · image, public domain
St. John Chrysostom preached through First Thessalonians verse by verse, and these are his sermons as they were taken down. Each one explains a passage and then turns to how his listeners should live.
His sermons on those who have fallen asleep are a real comfort to anyone who is grieving.
