About This Book

An accessible series of homilies aimed at rural congregations presents practical exposition of Scripture alongside moral exhortation. The preacher reflects on God's creation and providence, the nature of faith, the struggle between spirit and flesh, and themes of judgment and retribution, drawing on Genesis, the prophets, and New Testament texts. Pastoral counsel addresses youth, everyday work, repentance, and the necessity of personal holiness, combining doctrinal points with vivid examples and appeals to conscience to apply theological teaching to village life.

FOOTNOTES

[92]  “And when He was come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.  And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we do with Thee, Jesus, Thou Son of God?  Art Thou come hither to torment us before the time?  And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.  So the devils besought him, saying, If Thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.  And He said unto them, Go.  And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.”

[187]  Von Stolberg.
