The Angels' Song

The collection presents a series of devotional sermons reflecting on the incarnation and redemption, arguing that salvation chiefly glorifies God and elicits praise from angels and the entire universe. It emphasizes the Messiah’s humility and the honor conferred on lowly witnesses, using the shepherds as exemplars of pious, commonplace lives and arguing that ordinary duties performed devoutly are sacred. Subsequent essays explore how Christ restores peace between God and humanity, brings inward and eventual worldly peace, and define the nature of good will and its appropriate objects, blending biblical exegesis with practical moral exhortation and pastoral illustration.
