Discourses, Doctrinal and Practical, Vol. 2: Delivered in Essex Street Chapel (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore deep questions of faith, knowledge, and divine action through a classic 19th‑century sermon collection.
This volume presents Thomas Belsham’s Discourses, Doctrinal and Practical, delivered at Essex Street Chapel. It gathers careful reflections on how humans know, how God governs the world, and how belief shapes daily life.
This edition continues the author’s method: clear, practical preaching that wrestles with big ideas while staying accessible. Readers will encounter thoughtful discussions about the limits of human knowledge, the planning and providence behind natural events, and the relationship between divine foreknowledge and human freedom. The sermons aim to illuminate belief without oversimplifying controversy, inviting reflection rather than quick answers.- Understand how early chapters frame the limit of human knowledge and what that means for faith.
- Consider how the providence of God is understood to extend to all natural events and human actions.
- See how faith addresses questions about miracles, prophecy, and the evidence for Christian claims.
- Reflect on the moral implications of divine foreknowledge and moral agency in everyday life.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book showcases the author's remarkable insights on the imperfections of human knowledge. Unlike other contemporary works on this topic, the author thoroughly dissects what is known and not known about natural processes, human nature, and divine teachings. Often scientists and philosophers will concede they do not know everything but offer no in-depth analysis of what that means. This book radically departs from that traditional and somewhat lazy approach to a fascinating subject. While the author believes the world's great thinkers have made significant discoveries, he argues there is a severe limitation to human knowing, and this limitation extends to our very perception and the nature of our existence. Specifically, the author notes that we know very little of our own bodies, the world around us, or the powers that govern our universe. Yet, we know just enough of each of these things to make accurate predictions and have insightful conversations. What is the limit of this knowledge? How much more might we know if our senses or minds were different? These questions are at the heart of the author's investigation and drive many of the book's chapters. The concluding chapters explore the implications of our limited knowing on our relationship with God. The author argues that even though we know very little of God, we can know enough to make sound moral judgments and live virtuous lives. This book is a profound examination of one of humanity's most important topics. Its conclusions are both illuminating and humbling.
