Conqueror of Souls: Moments and Miracles by Archim. Vassilios Bakoyiannis - Lives of Saints - Book

Paperback 97 pages

Alexander the Great was a conqueror; he ruled over the known world. However, he conquered it with weapons and an army, by defeating his enemies.

Saint John Chrysostom was also a conqueror; greater than Alexander the Great. He conquered souls, not with weapons and armies but with love as his only weapon.

We shall see this unfold.

George I, Patriarch of Alexandria (7th century), authored the work: “Exegesis, namely, the Life, Conduct, and Miracles of our Holy Father, Ecumenical Teacher, and Archbishop John Chrysostom”. It contains unknown and fascinating details about the life of Saint John.

It was published for the first time (text and translation) by the current professor of the University of Thessaly, Mr. Sotirios Balatsoukas (Trikala, 2016, pp. 568).

This work serves as a primary source for our book.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Professor Balatsoukas for his kind permission. May the blessings of the Saint accompany him throughout his life.
