In the three speeches of St. John Chrysostom included in this volume (on death, the impending judgment, and the enjoyment of future goods), the issues that deeply concern people in our time are examined.

The unknown of the end of our lives and the fear that arises in the face of death, our separation from beloved figures and especially young children or only children, the necessity of punishing the wicked and rewarding the virtuous in the afterlife, the benefit of performing memorials for the deceased, the magnitude of hell for the sinful who will eternally be deprived of the vision of God, the persuasive comparison of the goods of the present life to the goods of the future life, are aspects that the holy author examines.

His arguments are convincing, supported by Scripture, philosophy, and logic. The benefit from reading the three speeches is assured. Spiritual and emotional support is guaranteed.
