This volume from the seminal “20 Centuries of Great Preaching” series offers a window into the influential sermons and orations that shaped religious thought during a transformative period from 1703-1875. Compiled by Baptist minister William M. Fant Jr., it anthologizes pivotal works by giants of the pulpit like John Wesley, founder of Methodism, and Charles G. Finney, a key figure of the Second Great Awakening. Beyond their theological significance, these sermons provide insight into the cultural and political undercurrents of the era, reflecting the upheavals of the American and French Revolutions as well as the moral battles surrounding slavery and women’s rights. For collectors, this ex-library copy bears the patina of its academic heritage, with its underlining and marginalia hinting at the impassioned discourses it has witnessed over the decades. A vital addition to any library on religious oratory and cultural history.
