    PARENTAL ADVISORY: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS CONTENT THAT MAY BE UPSETTING FOR CHILDREN. Orthodox Christians admire St. John Chrysostom, but many others view him negatively and accuse him of harboring hatred toward Jews and women. Are those fair accusations? We will discuss this, his relationship with his congregation and his life as a bishop in his own words.

It eventually prevailed, largely due to its most famous proponent: St. John Chrysostom.

    Christ as Interpreter of the Scriptures, Part 2

    All the Old Testament is interpreted in the light of Christ. He fulfilled the Law, both rejecting extreme legalism but also expanding it, showing that he expected us to go beyond the Law. The Ten Commandments are NOT the standard for Christians. Why not? What does it mean?

    Jesus Christ as an Interpreter of the Scriptures

    We have often read about Jesus in the Scriptures but how did he himself interpret them? Christ's own interpretations of Jewish Scriptures along with his methodology and attitude toward them laid the foundation of how the Christian Church would apply them.
