Albert H. Currier epub Nine Great Preachers (Classic Reprint)

The biographical studies contained in this volume have been culled from a delightful field of literature. For many years the author has roamed about this field with pleasure and profit. From the experience thus obtained he heartily concurs in the opinion of Professor Benjamin Jowett, the famous Master of Balliol College, Oxford University, that Of great men it may be truly said that it does us good only to look at them. The lives of great and good men are the best sermons; and the preacher may do well sometimes to shield himself behind them and so to speak with greater authority than his own words could fairly claim. Professor Jowett svolume of Biographical Sermons affords a good illustration of the truth of his words. If history is philosophy teaching by example, as an eminent writer has said, biography of this kind is even more; it is both philosophy and Christianity exemplified in the most impressive objectlessons. The author cherishes the hope that the studies given in this volume which relate to preachers of different denominations, will convince its readers that All faiths afford the constant and the wise a better acquaintance with whom through its pages will be found stimulating and profitable.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
