Synopsis

Excerpt from Thoughts on Preaching: Specially in Relation to the Requirements of the Age

By laymen, it is possible, these remarks have been made with too little consideration for the various and incessant demands which are made upon a clergyman's time as well as with too little sympathy towards those mental and physical conditions, which, as the author of the Rambler so feelingly tells us must greatly affect the intellectual productions of any writer, who condemns himself to compose on a stated day. Still this has not the less disposed the clergy to meet the charges of pulpit failure with unshrinking fairness; or made them unwilling, whenever they have had opportunity of meeting together for mutual conference, to give to the consideration of the subject a distinguished prominence.

To the latter proof of a desire among them to enter tain the question honestly, the present work owes its origin. On two occasions of large meetings of clergy, the author was applied to, by his brethren, to prepare a paper on Preaching; -the general subject being given to him at one meeting, and that of Preaching for the Age, at another. On each of these occasions.

Product Description

Excerpt from Thoughts on Preaching: Specially in Relation to the Requirements of the Age "It was preaching that restored the splendour of the Church, when barbarism, and wars, and ignorance, either sate in or broke the doctor's chair in pieces. And by the same instrument God restored the beauty of the Church, when it was necessary she should be reformed; it was the assiduous and learned preaching of those whom God chose for his ministers in that work, that wrought the advantages, and persuaded those truths which are the enamel and beauty of our churches. And because by the same means all things are preserved, by which they are produced, it cannot but be certain that the present state of the Church requires a greater care and prudence in this ministry than ever. - Jeremy Taylor. - Preface to Course of Sermons, Part II.
