Sermons, 1824-1843: Sermons on Biblical History, Sin and Justification, the Christian Way of Life, and Biblical Theology

by John Henry Cardinal Newman, Vincent F. Blehl (Editor)

Overview

From 1824 to 1843 Newman was an active clergyman of the Church of England, entering the pulpit about 1,270 times during that period. Newman published 217 of the sermons which he wrote during those years; a further 246 sermons survive in manuscript form in the Archives of Birmingham Oratory—some only as fragments but the majority as full texts. This is the second of a projected five-volume edition of Newman's previously unpublished sermons. The texts have been transcribed accurately and clearly for ease of reading, with sufficient editorial comment to clarify their theological content and historical background.
