Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This influential collection of sermons posits that the only real antidote to the inevitable suffering and disappointment of life is a belief in the universal government of God. The author lived in the 18th century, a time when the morality of Europeans was wavering in the face of the social upheaval caused by the French revolution. The author firmly believed that without religious grounding, natural disasters, disease, and war would soon lead to the collapse of Christian society as he knew it. Christian civilization, he argues, could only be saved by a return to the religious certainty of the people who founded it. As such, this book serves as a historical document of the struggle over secularism in the 18th century. At the same time, its message will resonate with any reader in any time period seeking certainty and solace in the face of life's inevitable troubles and disappointments.
