Discourses On The Beatitudes by Edwin Hubbell Chapin. This volume collects Chapin's sermons on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, presenting a practical theology that contrasts worldly values with gospel riches. The author argues that the Beatitudes express a spiritual greatness grounded in humility, mercy, purity, and peacemaking, and applies them to both early disciples and readers of all times. He discusses poverty in spirit, mourning, meekness, hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, and the blessing of the peacemakers, extending these blessings from personal virtue to social responsibility, including care for the poor, the afflicted, and the persecuted. Throughout, Chapin emphasizes humility before God, trust in divine guidance, and the transformative power of Christian discipleship, offering a moral philosophy that seeks inner renewal and universal compassion. It further argues that the gospel challenges worldly ambition and posits happiness as grounded in spiritual attainment rather than external success.
