John Chrysostom uses military metaphors from Romans to help believers un-derstand their relationship with God and engage in spiritual warfare. He compares circumcision and baptism to expand their meaning. By likening body parts to weapons, he teaches that individuals choose whether to serve truth or sin. In this analogy, God is the commander, and believers are soldiers fighting sin, stressing obedience and trust. Chrysostom urges obedience to God akin to soldiers obeying their leader, connecting it with faith-based trust.
Khrüszosztomosz
Ez a doktori dolgozat csupán az Institutio 1559-es kiadásának a szabad akaratról szóló fejezeteiben fellelhető Khrüszosztomosz-idézetekkel foglalkozik, és igyekszik kideríteni, milyen teológiai szempontokat, vagy akár érdekeket akart érvényesíteni Kálvin, amikor ezekben a fejezetekben megfogalmazta az antiókhiai teológiai iskola emlőin nevelkedett pátriárka szabad akarattal kapcsolatos tanításáról alkotott véleményét.
The systhematic theological dissertation written on the "dialogue" about the free will between Calvin and Chrysostom was defended on 26. January 2016 at the Reformed Theological University of Debrecen.

In 13th chapter of the Book I of his Institutes Calvin makes a reference to Chrysostom’s five homilies, which were composed against the sect of anomoians. The purpose of this short paper is the analysis of this reference. In the first part we present the context of the reference, namely the demonstration of the essential unity of the Triune God. In the following section we discuss the anomoian heresy and we try to unfold to which passages from the homilies of Chrysostom Calvin referred.
