THE LIFE OF JUSTIFICATION. A Series of Lectures delivered in Substance at All Saints’, Margaret Street, in Lent, 1870. By the Rev. George Body, B.A., Rector of Kirkby Misperton. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d.
“On the whole we have rarely met with a more clear, intelligible and persuasive statement of the truth as regards the important topics on which the volume treats. Sermon II. in particular, will strike every one by its eloquence and beauty, but we scarcely like to specify it, lest in praising it we should seem to disparage the other portions of this admirable little work.”—Church Times.
“These discourses show that their author’s position is due to something more and higher than mere fluency, gesticulation, and flexibility of voice. He appears as having drunk deeply at the fountain of St. Augustine, and as understanding how to translate the burning words of that mighty genius into the current language of to-day.”—Union Review.
“There is real power in these sermons:—power, real power, and plenty of it.... There is such a moral veraciousness about him, such a profound and over-mastering belief that Christ has proved a bona-fide cure for unholiness, and such an intensity of eagerness to lead others to seek and profit by that means of attaining the true sanctity which alone can enter Heaven—that we wonder not at the crowds which hang upon his preaching, nor at the success of his fervid appeals to the human conscience. If any one doubts our verdict, let him buy this volume. No one will regret its perusal.”—Literary Churchman.
SERMONS ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS. By Daniel Moore, M.A., Chaplain in Ordinary to the Queen, and Vicar of Holy Trinity, Paddington; Author of Hulsean Lectures on “The Age and the Gospel,” “Aids to Prayer,” &c. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d.
“We do not wonder at Mr. Moore’s long continued popularity with so many hearers; there is so much painstaking and so much genuine desire to discharge his duty as a preacher visible through all the volume. What we miss is the deeper theology, and the spontaneous flow of teaching as from a spring which cannot help flowing, which some of our preachers happily exhibit. But the Sermons may be recommended, or we would not notice them.”—Literary Churchman.
“Rarely have we met with a better volume of Sermons.... Orthodox, affectionate, and earnest, these Sermons exhibit at the same time much research, and are distinguished by an elegance and finish of style often wanting in these days of rapid writing and continual preaching.”—John Bull.
“Sermons like those of Mr. Moore are, however, still of comparative rarity—sermons in which we meet with doctrine which cannot be gainsaid; with a knowledge of the peculiar circumstances of his hearers, which nothing but accurate observation and long experience can secure, and a peculiar felicity of style which many will envy, but to which it is the lot of few to attain.”—Christian Observer.
“We have had real pleasure, however, in reading these sermons. Here are most of the elements of a preacher’s power and usefulness: skilful arrangement of the subject, admirable clearness of style, earnestness, both of thought and language, and the prime qualification of all, ‘in doctrine, uncorruptness.’”—London Quarterly Review.
