Hardcover. 1st edition. ix, [1], 201 p.; 19.5 cm. (Lyman Beecher lectures on preaching at Yale ; 1938) Contents: Preface -- I. The austerity of prophecy -- II. The prophet's woe -- III. The Christian prophet -- IV. The edification of the church -- V. The cult of unconventionality -- VI. Our professional skills -- VII. The timeliness of our sermons -- The Lyman Beecher lectures on preaching [list since 1872] -- `The warrant for continuing indefinitely such a series of lectures as this lies not in the possibility of perfecting still further the theoretical rules for making sermons, but in the necessity of constantly shifting our aim in a deliberate attempt to find the range of a world which refuses to stand still.' (p. vi) `Certainly no man who drafts a sermon outline in his study after weighing the pros and cons of his arguments and choosing accordingly with discreet reference to the particular situation he faces, can regard the delivery of the resultant discourse as prophesying. It may be witnessing, it may be pleading as with a jury, it may be teaching, it may be exhorting; it is not prophecy. But if, in the presence of some situation which seems wholly wrong, there wells up in him an elemental indignation which he cannot suppress and a passion for the right he cannot curb, he has an intimation, at least, of what the authentic prophet is and does.' (p. 28) VG orig. green buckram. Some heavy pencilling, mainly in margins.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the timely relevance of religious wisdom in the modern world, where lawmaking and prophecy are seemingly on the wane. The author argues that wisdom, which springs from a mature understanding of the past and a thoughtful consideration of the future, is crucial for religious growth. This wisdom counsels us to learn from our own experiences, to attend to the signs of the times, and to avoid shortsightedness in religion. The author traces the historical roots of wisdom in religion, particularly within the Jewish tradition, and emphasizes its importance in reconciling the tension between this-worldliness and other-worldliness. By examining the work of Jesus and the history of the early Christian church, the book demonstrates how wisdom has guided religious movements throughout history. The concluding chapters delve into the specific challenges facing religion in the contemporary world, such as its cooperation or noncooperation with the spirit of the age. The author draws upon examples from classical Greek philosophy and ethics to illustrate the dangers of uncritical conformity and the importance of dissenting voices in maintaining the vitality of religion. Ultimately, the book stresses the enduring significance of wisdom in helping us navigate the complexities of religious life and in fostering a deeper, more authentic relationship with the divine. 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.
