The Call Of The City: A Sermon

By James Hall McIlvaine

When the city becomes the world's heartbeat, how should the Church answer? The city still calls us. In The Call Of The City: A Sermon, James Hall McIlvaine addresses the spiritual crisis and possibility of rapidly growing urban life, offering a sober yet hopeful christian sermon text on the mission to the city. Written as cities expanded and traditional patterns shifted, this classic city sermon reflects on the spiritual pressures of urban life and on how the gospel can be heard amidst the noise. Both devotional and practical, it stands as a classic preaching resource for pastors and preachers engaged in city church ministry, and as an illuminating example of historic urban preaching for any reader curious about the roots of modern urban mission classics. As an urban ministry sermon and thoughtful urban evangelism message, it offers a measured christian response to urbanization that still resonates wherever faith meets the complexities of modern city streets. Ideal for sermon preparation study, it rewards slow reading by clergy, students and lay Christians alike, while also appealing to lovers of theological history and collectors of urban mission classics. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
