The Eastern Cross/Library/Homilies on Ephesians
St. John Chrysostom preached through Ephesians 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 sermon on Ephesians 5, on husbands and wives, is one of the finest things ever written on Christian marriage.
