In the second half of May 2024, you can add Earl M. Blackburn’s Bitesize Biography of John Chrysostom (Evangelical Press, 2012). The Bitesize Biographies series offers quick overviews of key figures in church history. From the blurb:
John Chrysostom could perhaps be called an enigma of his day. He had neither desire for politics nor ambition for ecclesiastical advancement. He preferred to live the simple life of an ascetic and had no cravings for the fame, riches, or luxuries that came with life in the metropolitan cities of his day. However, in God’s great providence, he is now recognized as one of the doctors of the Church. What has made him so revered and remembered? In this short biography, Earl Blackburn examines the life and times of this great preacher who has left such a mark upon the Christian church to this day.
