St. John Chrysostom (347–407) was an early Church Father, biblical interpreter, and archbishop of Constantinople known for his zeal and clarity in preaching, which earned him the Greek surname Chrysostom, meaning “golden-mouthed.” He was a superb orator concerned with the spiritual and temporal welfare of the needy and oppressed and was later declared a doctor of the church, a title granted to saints of the Roman Catholic Church whose writings and teachings are considered especially significant.
