Synopsis
Excerpt from Sermons of John Baptist Massillon and Lewis Bourdaloue, Two Celebrated French Preachers: Also, a Spiritual Paraphrase of Some of the Psalms, in the Form of Devout Meditations and Prayers
The two first Sermons in this volume were preached by Massillon to a Synod, and the third to a number of young ministers, at a College. Some of the observations in these discourses may not be applicable to the Clergy of this country but the getter al strain of them is applicable to all the mirr isters of Christ, and in them they will see many parts of their duty strikingly inculca ted, and ministerial faithfulness urged by weighty metives. The necessity of zeal and engagedness in their work, the charac teristics of true ministerial zeal, and the spirit of the ministry, are here illustrated with great force and beauty.
The fourth Sermon by Massillon, and the fifth by bourdaioue, are upon a common though all will acknowledge a very impor' tant subject. The closing scene of life is a very interesting period in man's existence, and one on which every person ought ftc quently to meditate.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the defining mark of true ministerial zeal is a rational ardor that seeks to lead others to Christ. The author advises against the fruitless zeal of ignorance, which lacks the knowledge needed to effectively lead people to Christ, and the harmful zeal of rashness, which alienates potential converts through its intemperance. Instead, he emphasizes a thoughtful, temperate, intelligent approach. Blending fervor and wisdom, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the nature of zeal in Christian ministry, and provides practical guidance for those who seek to fan the flames of their own zeal while avoiding the pitfalls of ignorance and rashness. This careful and judicious approach to ministry is more fruitful in the long run than the unthinking, unreasoned zeal that flares brightly but quickly burns out. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781527638327_0
