For more information or to volunteer, please visit Librivox dot org three Homilies Concerning the Power of Demons by John Chrysostom, translated by Thomas Brandrum. Introduction by Reverend W. R. W. Stevens The three following homilies are closely connected in subject, and the opening sentence of the third clearly proves that it was delivered two days after the second, but it is impossible to say whether that which is placed first was really delivered before the other two. It must, however, have been spoken at Antioch, since Chrysostom refers at the beginning of it, to his sermons on the obscurity of prophecies, in which passages occur which clearly imply that he was not then a bishop.
The second of the three homilies here translated was delivered in the presence of a bishop, as is clearly indicated by the commencement, and as the third was, as already mentioned, delivered two days after the second, we may safely affirm that they were all spoken at Antioch when Chrysostom was a presbyter there under the Episcopate of Flavian. Yeah.
They deal with errors against which Chrysostom, throughout his life, most strenuously contended, in an age of great depravity. poverty, there seem to have been many who tried to excuse the weak resistance which they made to evil, both in themselves and in others, by maintaining that the world was abandoned to the dominion of devils, or to the irresistible course of fate. To counteract the disastrous effects of such philosophy, which surrendered man to the current of his passions, it was necessary to insist very boldly and resolutely on the essential freedom of the will, on moral responsibility and the duty of vigorous exertion in resisting temptation. And Chrysostom did this to an extent which some thought carried him perilously near the errors of the Pelagian heresy.
No one, however, has described in more forcible language the powerful hold of sin upon human nature, and the insufficiency of man to shake it off without the assistance of divine grace. What he does most earnestly combat, both in the following homilies and very many others, is the doctrine that evil was an original integral part of our nature. He maintains that it is not a substantial inherent force lunis enbost. That was if evil was a part of our nature in this sense, it would be no more reprehensible than natural appetites and affections. We do not try to alter that which is by nature fusi. Sin therefore is not by nature because by means of education, laws, and punishments we do seek to alter that.
Sin comes through defect in the moral purpose pro eresis. Our first parents fell through indignation. indolence of moral purpose Rath Mia, and this is the principal cause of sin now. They marked out a path which has been trodden ever since the force of will has been weakened in all their posterity so that, though evil is not an inherent part of man's nature, yet he is readily inclined to it auxure pescayan, and this tendency must be perpetually counteracted by vigorous exertion and a bracing up of the moral purpose with the aid of divine grace.
