Philip Doddridge

Rate this book

Philip Doddridge was an 18th century hymn writer, theologian, and preacher. Practical Discourses on Regeneration is a compilation of ten of his sermons on regeneration. All of the sermons were delivered to a group of young students entering the ministry. Consequently, they are immensely practical. These sermons are a welcome reminder of enriching theology. They cover all aspects of regeneration. (For example, they describe the difference between the unregenerate man and the regenerated man.) Practical Discourses on Regeneration is thus interesting both for historical and theological reasons. It is an interesting, historical window into 18th century theology, and an instructive treatise on the doctrine of regeneration.

Philip Doddridge, D.D. (Marischal College and King’s College, Aberdeen), was an English Congregationalist minister, educator, and author of over 400 hymns. First published in 1745, the accessibility and clarity of his The Rise and Progress of Religion in the Soul, with its emphasis on practical piety and advice on prayer, meditation, and self-examination, led to its translation into seven languages and its popularity across Europe and America, where it greatly influenced the Great Awakening and the eventual foundation of Methodism by John Wesley.
