About This Book

A collection of pulpit sermons that interprets biblical episodes and applies them to moral, social, and spiritual concerns of contemporary life. Exegetical treatments of scripture are paired with practical exhortation on personal character, social relations, labor and capital, and public vice. The sermons use vivid illustration and rhetorical address to urge repentance, charity, and reform, confronting issues such as addiction, economic relations, and the problem of suffering while also developing devotional themes about responsibility, redemption, and the soul’s destiny.
