About this title

Synopsis

Lectures and Addresses, with an Appendix Containing the Funeral Sermon and Memorial Services Occasioned by the Death of the Author, edited by D.W. Clark, presents a posthumous collection of Rev. John Dempster's sermons and lectures from 1864. This volume explores the ministerial call, the characteristics and demands of the age on ministry, Divine Providence, Truth, the supernatural, and various missionary addresses. It features in-depth discussions on education, mental culture, and the responsibilities of pastors and missionaries, along with a substantial memorial section honoring Dempster’s contributions as a Lutheran-style evangelical leader in American Methodism. The contents provide valuable insights into 19th-century Methodist theology, the establishment of theological schools such as Concord Biblical Institute and Garrett Biblical Institute, and the church’s engagement with missions, abolition, and reform.
