Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on Various Subjects and Occasions Dr. South gave successively to the public, six volumes of his sermons during his life five others, much inferior in interest, and in their general character, afterwards appeared. The sixth com plete edition was published in 1744; nor is any subsequent to that date known to me. It is certainly remarkable, that while two distinct volumes of his contemporary Barrow, alter the present plan, have issued from the Clarendon press within this century; the same cflice has not till now been performed for South. What renders the solution of this the more difficult is, that by the manner in which he is to this day referred to and quoted, on questions of doctrine, in the principal journal of the English church, his name would seem to have lost little of its weight and influence with the lapse of years. The local topics of many of these sermons, can explain this neglect, only in part; for this circumstance has its share also in giving them something of their interest and value. As little can it be thought chargeable, in any great measure at least, on the unami able features which his pages too often present. In that case surely, the author would have most rigorously expiated the faults of the man. Various causes, probably, have conspired to te remove these sermons so far from the public norice; and it affords some complacency to the editor, as well as some recompense to his labour, to have been in any degree the means of their revival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On his second Atlantic voyage, George Whitefield read lengthy quotations from a work of a deceased English cleric. Writing in his journal, he exclaimed, “[These words] deserve to be written in Letters of Gold.” Whitefield’s associate, the American Jonathan Edwards, concurred. That cleric was John Edwards, an anomaly in several respects: a self-proclaimed Calvinist who conformed to the Church of England at a time when most Calvinists left in the Great Ejection of 1662. In leading a public debate against prominent intellectuals of his day, including John Locke and Samuel Clarke, over the definition of orthodox Christianity, he allied himself with the same church leaders who decried his Calvinist theology. Edwards retired in his mid-fifties due to “ill health”—a retirement in which he wrote over forty scholarly books. At the heart of his concern was the unity and doctrinal orthodoxy of the church, themes over which contentious disputes have reverberated throughout church history. Saving the Church of England tells the story of why the church was in trouble and of John Edwards’s heroic effort to save it.
