About This Book

A collected volume gathers sermon texts, tracts, selected correspondence, and a prefatory account of the author's life, arranged around biblical expositions and practical pastoral teaching. Sermons range from doctrinal reflections on Christ's righteousness, temptation, and salvation to moral exhortations on conversion, family worship, gratitude, self-denial, and the duties of religious societies. Practical guidance appears on how to hear sermons, observe Christian festivals, and discern marks of true conversion, while letters and occasional pieces offer personal counsel and responses to contemporary controversies.
