�The outstanding merit our author, Chrysostom, is that it was his supreme concern always not to turn aside even in the slightest degree from the genuine, simple sense of scripture and to allow himself no liberties by twisting the plain meaning of the words.� - Praefatio in Chrysostomi Homilias
Of all the Fathers, Calvin thus awards to Chrysostom first place in the exposition of scripture.
