Discourses on the Rich Man and Lazarus by Timothy Cruso,C. Matthew McMahon Pdf
In this work on Luke 16, Christ’s narrative concerning the Rich Man and Lazarus, Cruso is taken up with explaining and exhorting the reader of the nature of hell-torments and heaven’s felicity. Besides their usefulness in awakening those that remain lost, these doctrines are eminently profitable to the most sound and established believers. Such exhortations serve to foster a more abundant cause of thankfulness to God for the unspeakable gift of Jesus Christ, and of rejoicing and triumph in him as their Deliverer from such a horrid state. Both heaven and hell are set before the reader, showing the portion of the happy beggar and the portion of the miserable rich man. He presses the reader to consider, which of the two will you choose to follow? By an unfeigned faith in Christ and by the genuine fruits of that faith in a holy life, everyone that has heard and learned of the Father comes to Christ and is governed by him (John 6:45). It was Cruso’s desire in having this work published that it might be presented to all, that everyone might uprightly say, “I am not only almost, but altogether, persuaded to be in reality, as well as in name, a Christian, and as such, henceforth, to live and die unto the Lord!”

Four Discourses of St John Chrysostom by Saint John Chrysostom Pdf
Chiefly on the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus Excerpt: OF the Christian Fathers, none have gained such fame, and few have left remains so voluminous as Chrysostom. In the melancholy narrative of Gibbon, two Christian champions are presented as men of real power and vigour of mind. The historian pauses to detail their acts and estimate their influence, but his admiration seems rather spontaneously and involuntarily shown, than formally expressed. These two men are Athanasius and John Chrysostom. The one is the man of unyielding polemical skill, of undaunted courage and astounding energy. The latter possesses in a remarkable degree, that which the former lacked or repressed, imaginative genius. As an orator, Chrysostom must have been as pre-eminent as Athanasius was as a polemical champion. "They [the critics of succeeding times] unaminously attribute to the Christian orator the free command of an elegant and copious language, the judgment to conceal the advantages which he derived from the knowledge of rhetoric and philosophy, an inexhaustible fund of metaphors and similitudes, of ideas and images to vary and illustrate the most familiar topics, the happy art of engaging the passions in the service of virtue, and of exposing the folly as well as the turpitude of vice, almost with the truth and spirit of a dramatic representation." As a writer, too, the same historian, though speaking of the Letters only, which are of far less value than his Essays and Commentaries, (speaking of his last days in exile) says, "The respectful attention of the Christian world was fixed on a desert spot among the mountains of Taurus. From that solitude the Archbishop, whose active mind was invigorated by misfortunes, maintained a strict and frequent correspondence with the most distant provinces." And, in a footnote, "Two hundred and forty two of the epistles of Chrysostom are still extant. They are addressed to a variety of persons, and show a firmness of mind much superior to that of Cicero in his exile." The orator must always fail to leave any worthy memorial of his genius. As might have been expected, the best remains of Chrysostom are those of his works which were not orally delivered, or which may be supposed to have been at least committed to writing by himself. The Sermons must of necessity be inadequately represented. And since the genius of Chrysostom worked chiefly by these oral discourses, it follows that his remains are weakest in that point in which the man himself was strongest. There are, however, traces even in the Sermons of the power that originated them. The name of scarcely any other writer of antiquity has, after his death, been attached to so many spurious compositions as this great name. The Benedictine editor (Montfaucon) appends some of these. The reason for their rejection is usually founded, not on external evidence, but on the inferiority of the matter contained in them, (Multa peregrinitatem olent. Peregrinitatis notas deprehendimus, &c.) Writings by hands more able, but not more scrupulous, may have retained the borrowed name by means of their vigour.
