Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the role of preaching culture in eighteenth-century England. Beyond the confines of churches, preaching was heard at political anniversaries and elections, thanksgiving and fast days, and society and charity meetings, all of which were major occasions on the English political and social calendars. Dozens of sermons were published each year, and the popularity of sermons, both from the pulpit and in print, make them crucial for understanding the role of religion in eighteenth-century society. To provide a broad perspective on preaching culture, this book focuses on print and manuscript evidence for preaching in London. London had a unique combination of preaching venues and audiences, including St. Paul's cathedral, parliament, the royal court, the corporation of London, London-based societies, and numerous parish churches and Dissenting meetinghouses. The capital had the greatest range of preaching anywhere in England. However, many of the developments in London reflected trends in preaching culture across the country. This was a period when English society experienced significant social, religious and political changes, and preachers' roles evolved in response to these changes. Early in the century, preachers were heavily engaged in partisan politics. However, as these party heats waned, they increasingly became involved with societies and charities that were part of the blossoming English urban culture. The book also explores the impact of sermons on society by looking at contemporary perceptions of preaching, trends in the publication of sermons, the process of the publication and the distribution of sermons, and the reception of sermons. It demonstrates how preachers of various denominations adapted to an increasingly literate and print-centred culture and the continuing vitality of oral preaching culture. The book will be of interest not only to scholars of religion and sermon literature, but also to those interested in eighteenth-century politics, urban society, oral and print cultures, and publishing. JENNIFER FAROOQ is an independent scholar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preaching in London: A Diary of Anglo-American Friendship New York, seen from the Harbor, 15 a great picture indeed, and when the fog lifts and the sunlight falls upon it in Splendour it looks like a fairy city built in a dream. Its architecture is as ambitious as the Tower Of Babel, which is a symbol of its polyglot population. For an inlander like myself the sea was a thing of wonder and mystery, at once a fact and a symbol; and though I have crossed it many times since - seven times during the war, when lightning slumbered in its waves - it has lost none of the spell which it cast over me the first time I set sail upon its bosom. No words may ever hope to tell the feelings Of a man when for the first time he leaves his native land and turns to the open sea, sailing out over the blue rim Of the world! From my Diary Of those days, which fills the following pages, I venture to transcribe, first, these lines written on the sea: June 20th, 1916: The sea is His, and He made it. All day long the great words of the Bible about the sea have been coming to mind, with meanings I had never guessed before. There is sorrow upon the sea: it can not be still - what words they are as one looks out upon these restless, reinless waters! And there are those other words, so freighted with meaning just now: And the sea gave up the dead that were in it; but best Of all the line Of the Psalmist, Thy way, O Lord, is in the sea. Truly, if I were a rich Pagan instead Of a poor Chris tian, I would build a temple to the sea. It is so patient and strong to ship or soul that bravely casts loose upon its mighty promises; so variable and stem to the unpiloted and unseaworthy. It is a great burden bearer. It can not be overloaded. It never breaks down. It never grows weary. It never needs repairs. It is not only a helper, but a teacher and friend. It rests the eye with its vast ness and its infinite variety. It calms the heart with its never-ending music. It speaks to the mind Of that Divine depth over which the mystics brood, but never fathom. It is responsive to every mood - now sad, now troubled, now quietly meditative, now bright with what the Greeks called its inextinguishable laughter. It preaches more sermons than all preachers; and as we listen, the sighs of human care are lost in the murmur Of its many waters.

Download or read book The Collected Sermons of Dietrich Bonhoeffer written by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preaching, according to Bonhoeffer, is like offering an apple to child. The gospel is proclaimed, but for it to be received as gift depends on whether or not the hearer is in a position to do so. Offered here are thirty-one of Pastor Bonhoeffer's sermons, in new English translations, which he preached at various times of the year and in a variety of different settings. Each is introduced by Bonhoeffer translator Isabel Best who also provides a brief biography of Bonhoeffer. The foreword is by Victoria J. Barnett, general editor of the Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works, English edition, published by Fortress Press, from which these sermons are selected. In his preaching, Bonhoeffer's strong, personal faith--the foundation for everything he did--shines in the darkness of Hitler's Third Reich and in the church struggle against it. Though not overtly political, Bonhoeffer's deep concern for the developments in his world is revealed in his sermons as he seeks to draw the listener into conversation with the promises and claims of the gospel--a conversation readers today are invited to join.
