Sermons to the Natural Man By W G T Shedd Paperback

by William Greenough Thayer Shedd

This volume contains 26 sermons, and in the words of the author: "This volume is complementary to another, published in 1871, under the title of 'Sermons to the Natural Man.' In the earlier volume, the author aimed to address the human conscience. In this, he would speak to the Christian heart. The former supposed original and unpardoned sin, and endeavored to produce the consciousness of it. The latter supposes forgiven and indwelling sin, and would aid in the struggle and victory over it. - Publisher.

About the author

William Greenough Thayer Shedd, son of the Reverend Marshall Shedd and Eliza Thayer, was an American Presbyterian theologian born in Acton, Massachusetts.

In 1835, Shedd enrolled at the University of Vermont, and became a protégé of UVM president James Marsh. Under the influence of his mentor, Shedd was deeply affected by the thought of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Transcendentalism. He graduated from UVM in 1839 and taught school for one year, during which time he began to attend the Presbyterian church. Being called to the ministry, Shedd entered Andover Theological Seminary in 1840 and studied under theologian Leonard Woods. He graduated in 1843.

Reviews

[Daniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

These sermons are outstanding, very easy to read, and of immense benefit in relation to both doctrinal instruction and practical application, covering a wide range of spiritual topics. W. G. T. Shedd is a writer that we overlook to our own detriment - and these sermons, in particular, are ones that I have overlooked for far too long.
