Discourses Against Judaizing Christians (Adversus Judaeos)

Eight homilies preached at Antioch against Christians who were attending Jewish synagogue services and observing Jewish festivals — Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, Tabernacles.

Read with the modern scholarly caveats summarized in Robert L. Wilken, John Chrysostom and the Jews (1983) and in Roger Pearse's introduction to this edition.
