Abstract	:	John Chrysostom’s sermons against the Jews (Adversus Judaeos) were not given in an attempt to unify the Christian church in Antioch, but rather, were given in an attempt to distance Christians from their Jewish counterparts and ensure a form of “superiority,” where Christianity and its beliefs could claim the teachings of the Hebrew Bible as their own in order to justify the foils of orthodoxy to heresy, and spirit to flesh. In his quest to ensure that Christianity was the superior faith, Chrysostom contributed to hundreds of years of violence and stereotyping that plagues Jews and minorities around the globe to this day. In retrospect, Chrysostom’s obsession with Christian spirit versus Jewish flesh is incredibly poignant, since we have seen throughout history that those who believe in the total infallibility of Christian spirit, to the point of militaristic fanaticism, are more often than not the ones wholly obsessed with the destruction and control of Jewish flesh.
