Synopsis

Sacred Classics, Or, Cabinet Library Of Divinity: Fourteen Sermons On The Divinity And Operations Of The Holy Spirit edited by Rev. Richard Cattermole and Rev. Henry Stebbing, presents a medley of fourteen sermons on the divinity and operations of the Holy Spirit. This 19th-century collection compiles sermons from eminent English divines, complemented by an introductory essay that surveys the doctrinal and historical development of pneumatology, defending the inward testimony of the Spirit and the fruits of a Spirit-led life against excessive zeal. The contents range from Tillotson’s treatment of the Coming of the Holy Ghost to Paley, Sherlock, Howe, and Taylor among others, addressing topics such as the gifts and graces of the Spirit, the distinction between genuine gifts and counterfeits, the Spirit’s assistance, the new creature, growth in grace, the sin and consequences of vexing the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, and the fellowship of the Spirit. The volume emphasizes scriptural testing, the internal work of grace, and the Spirit’s enduring presence in believers, reflecting a rigorous Anglican pneumatology with devotional and doctrinal rigor. It was originally published in the early 19th century and reissued in the 1830s for a broader readership.
