Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Words for God: Being Sermons Preached Before the University of Oxford, Chiefly During the Years; 1863-1865 The few Sermons contained in this volume have little in common with each other beyond a certain apologetic character, such as is suggested by the title. At one time the writer had intended to employ the opportunities afforded to him during the course of the last two years, in an attempt to shew that some prominent ideas, which, in their application to secular and material interests, form the strength and staple of the system or complexion of thought vaguely described as ´Liberalism´ are originally traceable, directly or indirectly, to a Christian source, and are realized by none so completely as by the faithful children of the Church. This intention is here alluded to, in the hope that some one else may be led to consider the subject, and, if expedient, to discuss it in the University pulpit or elsewhere. The Sermons which stand as second and third in this publication are a partial, but only a partial attempt to follow it out. The plan of attempting anything like a course of Sermons was abandoned in deference to what seemed to be a higher duty in a Christian Preacher, that, namely, of dealing as well as he can with such misapprehensions respecting truths of faith or morals as he knows to be actually current among those whom he has to address. The reader will bear in mind that this is a volume of Sermons. It makes no pretension to be a volume of Essays. An Essay belongs to general literature: a Sermon is the language of the Church.
