Timeless sermons on duty, faith, and leadership from a 17th‑century Anglican bishop.

This edition collects Thomas Sherlock’s Discourses Preached on Several Occasions, originally preached before kings, queens, and city leaders. The work presents the bishop’s clear, practical reflections on religion’s role in public life, the duties of rulers and subjects, and the moral responsibilities that sustain civil society. It also notes the power of Scripture to guide political decisions and personal conduct, with an emphasis on virtue, obedience, and the protection of religious liberty.

Explore the repeated call to fear God and honor authority, and the balance between conscience and public duty.
See how deliverance, gratitude, and prudent governance are connected in crisis and recovery.
Read thoughtful arguments for social virtue, charitable action, and the duties of leaders to uphold the laws and the common good.
Learn about the structure of a long-running sermon cycle, including how the editor frames and presents these discourses for readers today.

Ideal for readers of Anglican history, religious philosophy, and studies of early modern public ethics, as well as fans of classic sermon collections.
