Summary/Abstract: John Chrysostom was a pastoral authority, his sermons and his deeds were always connected to, or answered the challenges of his community or of himself, either religious, political, social or behavioral ones. John Chrysostom remains a model for present and future clerics not only from a rhetorical or moral point of view but also from the standpoint of his determination in promptly and adequately answering to the problems he encountered, arduously desiring a reformation of his society according to the will of Christ.
