THE present edition of this Essay is substantially a reproduction of the first. It is possible, indeed, and I hope probable, that the fruits of nine years’ more experience and study would have manifested themselves in some marked improvements upon the former work had I rewritten or recast the whole of it. But after mature consideration it did not seem to me that the defects of my original attempt were sufficient to warrant such an expenditure of time and toil.

Autorenporträt
William Richard Wood Stephens (1839–1902) was an esteemed ecclesiastical historian and clergyman of the Anglican Church, remembered particularly for his insightful biographical studies of notable religious figures. Born in 1839, Stephens embarked on an academic and clerical career that saw him contribute significantly to the understanding of Christian history and theology. One of his major works, 'Saint John Chrysostom, His Life and Times,' delves deeply into the life of the pre-eminent early Church Father, offering a meticulous account of Chrysostom's theological contributions, his eloquent oratory, and the complex socio-political backdrop of the late 4th century which profoundly impacted his ecclesiastical career. Stephens' scholarly work is characterized by his careful research and nuanced appreciation of the historical context, providing a balanced and vivid portrait of his subject. Moreover, his literary craftsmanship allows both scholars and general readers to appreciate the enduring influence of figures like Chrysostom. Stephens served the church in various capacities during his life, including as Dean of Winchester, and his scholarly legacy continues to enrich the field of theological studies.
