Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Christ in the Christian Year and in the Life of Man: Sermons for Laymen´s Reading This volume owes its existence to a letter received by the author, some months ago, from a presbyter in one of our western dioceses highly esteemed in the Church at large and of wide experience in its service. He believes that there is still need of printed sermons to be read in churches, and gives some reasons why the present publication should be made. Although it would not have been undertaken but for his advice and request, he is in no manner responsible for what the book contains. This suggestion having been adopted, it became necessary to accept whatever limitations it imposed both as to matter and method. Preferences which otherwise might be reasonably indulged, as respects topics and their treatment, lines of abstract thought and completeness of discussion, must to some extent be sacrificed. The frequent appearance of italics, a blemish on the pages to the eye of taste, is to be accounted for in the same way. It was also thought that to most readers certain obvious aspects and explanations of the principal Church-seasons might be supposed to be already sufficiently familiar. Let it be stated as according to the author´s general conception of preaching that the aim in each individual discourse should be rather to give a sense of reality, in the particular truth there presented, than to exhaust subjects; to create in the hearers as vivid and abiding an impression as may be of some distinct department of Christian doctrine or duty, comprehending only such relations of idea and fact as seem most suitable to that end. Several important topics, pertaining to the domain of Church-instruction, are reserved for another volume. The author ought frankly to add that in allowing these sermons, many of which were written for a parochial ministry, to go to press, he could not bring himself to consider merely their use in lay reading.
