Dio Chrysostom Poradie kníh (chronologicky)
Tento vplyvný raný cirkevný otec bol známy svojou mimoriadnou výrečnosťou, ktorá mu priniesla prezývku „zlatý hovorca“. Kritizoval zneužívanie moci zo strany cirkevných aj politických predstaviteľov. Jeho kázania a spisy, ktoré zdôrazňovali asketické hodnoty, formovali rané kresťanské myslenie a bohoslužby.
On Marriage and Family Life

Christian tradition often seems to give only grudging approval to the married life, particularly its sexual aspect. In these sermons of St John Chrysostom we find an important corrective to this view. Although himself a monk, Chrysostom had a profound understanding of the needs of his congregation. Inspired by the epistles to the Corinthians and Ephesians, he discusses the reasons God instituted primarily to promote holiness of the husband and wife, and only secondarily to produce children. Chrysostom goes on to discuss sexual relations, the mutual responsibilities of marriage, and parenting. While parts of Chrysostom's sermons may seem limited to his own time, the vast majority of his advice has timeless relevance for the Christian family.
