Sermons: Academical And Occasional (1848)

By John Keble

Book Overview

Sermons: Academical and Occasional is a collection of sermons written by John Keble and originally published in 1848. Keble was an English clergyman and a leading figure in the Oxford Movement, which sought to revive the Catholic traditions of the Church of England. The sermons in this collection are divided into two sections: Academical and Occasional. The Academical sermons were delivered by Keble during his time as a professor of poetry at Oxford University, and they focus on topics such as the nature of poetry, the role of the imagination in religion, and the importance of education. The Occasional sermons were written for specific events or occasions, such as weddings, funerals, and national holidays. They cover a wide range of topics, including the virtues of charity, the dangers of pride, and the importance of repentance. Throughout the collection, Keble emphasizes the need for a deeper spiritual life and a closer relationship with God. He draws on a variety of sources, including Scripture, Church history, and the writings of the Church Fathers, to support his arguments. Overall, Sermons: Academical and Occasional provides a fascinating glimpse into the religious and intellectual world of 19th-century England, as well as offering timeless insights into the human condition and the nature of faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
