The Eastern Cross/Library/Homilies on Philippians
St. John Chrysostom preached through Philippians 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.
At their centre is the hymn of Philippians 2, on Christ who emptied Himself and took the form of a servant.
