| Summary | "The World's Great Sermons, Volume 01: Basil to Calvin" by Grenville Kleiser is a collection of selected sermons that span from the fourth to the sixteenth century, assembled in the early 20th century. This anthology aims to showcase the profound and diverse teachings of influential preachers throughout Christian history, from early Church Fathers like Basil and Augustine to key figures of the Reformation such as Wyclif and Calvin. Each sermon is chosen for its doctrinal significance, literary excellence, and timeless relevance, appealing to both contemporary ministers and lay readers interested in spiritual enrichment. The opening of this volume begins with a preface by Grenville Kleiser, highlighting his intent to curate a representative collection of sermons reflecting the evolution of homiletics and the thoughtful engagement with Christian living through the centuries. He emphasizes that while some selections might not align perfectly with modern needs, each presents a valuable message worthy of exploration. The first sermon featured is by Basil, focusing on the Creation of the World, where he delves into the imagery of Scripture, discussing the nature of creation and the relationship between God, matter, and the essence of existence. This introduction sets the stage for deeper theological reflections and ethical guidance that follows in the subsequent sermons. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
