About St. John Chrysostom’s Adversus Judaeos

The famous "Eight Homilies Against the Jews", often translate more aptly as Judaizers, those Christians in the congregation who confused the works of post-Christ Judaism and observance of festivals as having anything to do with salvation, or even custom.

Homily VIII

Homily VIII of John Chrysostom's Adversus Judaeos (delivered ca. 387 CE in Antioch) addresses Christians seeking healing from Jewish incantations, amulets, and healers during illnesses like fevers. Chrysostom condemns this as idolatry and betrayal of Christ, urging endurance of suffering as a trial that tests faith—like gold in fire—and can lead to martyrdom. He contrasts biblical figures (e.g., the paralytic at the pool, Lazarus) who suffered without relief yet gained eternal reward, with Judaizers who run to "Christ-killers" for cures. He portrays Jewish practices as demonic and ineffective, calling for total avoidance to preserve Christian purity. The homily promotes an "anti-medicinal" stance: embrace fever as a path to heavenly glory rather than seek forbidden aid.

Homily IV

Homily IV of John Chrysostom's Adversus Judaeos (delivered ca. 387 CE in Antioch) focuses on deterring Christians from joining Jews in observing the upcoming Trumpets festival (Rosh Hashanah) and associated fasts. Chrysostom warns in advance to fortify souls against this "accursed and unlawful" practice, arguing that Jewish fasts lack divine sanction post-Christ and are worse than drunkenness. He invokes Elijah's rebuke ("How long will you limp on both legs?") to urge decisive commitment to Christ over Judaism. He sharply criticizes Judaizers for associating with those who crucified Christ, blames not only participants but also those who fail to stop them, and uses scriptural proofs to portray Jewish observances as obsolete and defiling. The homily stresses firm separation to avoid spiritual peril.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
