Christopher Howse has made a collection of the best sermons ever. Each sermon is introduced by a short note on the preacher and his time and a contemporary prayer is added. The sermons range from hell fire to profound spiritual comfort. John Knox's sermon castigates the monstrous regiment of women, Bossuet preaches on the love of God and Martin Luther King on his dream of the promised land. Some sermons are familiar as are many of the authors but the book has some surprises - including sermons by Herman Melville, Laurence Sterne and Thomas Aquinas.
