Description: The light of the world and other sermons by Reverend Phillips Brooks, D.D. published by E.P. Dutton & Company, New York, 1899. Hardcover. This book is a collection of sermons from popular preacher Phillips Brooks, an American Episcopal clergyman and author. Brooks’s sermons were exceedingly imaginative and beautiful rhetorical masterpieces. He was a preacher who meant his sermons to be popular, so he made them very accessible for his congregations and readers. Excerpt from Alexander V. G. Allen’s article on The Atlantic, April 1893: “His sermons are related to the best literature not only by the rhythm of the style, the command of language, the ear for the music of words, but by the gift of penetration which reads the instincts of the heart in their free, spontaneous expression. His mission was to combine the fruits of the great humanitarian movement, which has made so many names immortal in the Victorian age, with the idea of God as their source and their goal. He was always showing how genuinely human is the religious sentiment, and therefore how divine. It was his work to mediate, as it were, between literature and theology; to restore theology to the place which it had lost since it died as a science in the abstractions of the Schoolmen.” CONTENTS: THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD THE NEW AND GREATER MIRACLE THE PRIORITY OF GOD IDENTITY & VARIETY .
