Hardcover. 1st edition. ix, [1], 201 p.; 19.5 cm. (Lyman Beecher lectures on preaching at Yale ; 1938) Contents: Preface -- I. The austerity of prophecy -- II. The prophet's woe -- III. The Christian prophet -- IV. The edification of the church -- V. The cult of unconventionality -- VI. Our professional skills -- VII. The timeliness of our sermons -- The Lyman Beecher lectures on preaching [list since 1872] -- `The warrant for continuing indefinitely such a series of lectures as this lies not in the possibility of perfecting still further the theoretical rules for making sermons, but in the necessity of constantly shifting our aim in a deliberate attempt to find the range of a world which refuses to stand still.' (p. vi) `Certainly no man who drafts a sermon outline in his study after weighing the pros and cons of his arguments and choosing accordingly with discreet reference to the particular situation he faces, can regard the delivery of the resultant discourse as prophesying. It may be witnessing, it may be pleading as with a jury, it may be teaching, it may be exhorting; it is not prophecy. But if, in the presence of some situation which seems wholly wrong, there wells up in him an elemental indignation which he cannot suppress and a passion for the right he cannot curb, he has an intimation, at least, of what the authentic prophet is and does.' (p. 28) VG orig. green buckram. Some heavy pencilling, mainly in margins.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Divine Reticence' is a profound theological exploration that delves into the spiritual and philosophical concept of God's silence in the face of human suffering and inquiry. Written by Willard Learoyd Sperry, a distinguished theologian and academic, the work examines how the perceived 'reticence' of the divine serves as a fundamental aspect of faith rather than an absence of presence. Sperry invites readers to reconsider the nature of prayer, revelation, and the mysteries of the spiritual life through a lens that values the quiet and the unknown.The book navigates the tension between the human desire for clear, direct answers and the subtle, often indirect ways in which religious truth is experienced. By addressing the psychological and theological implications of divine quietude, Sperry offers a meditative and scholarly perspective on the relationship between the finite mind and the infinite. 'The Divine Reticence' remains a valuable text for those interested in early 20th-century religious thought, the philosophy of religion, and the enduring questions of Christian practice. Its insights provide a contemplative framework for understanding the quiet depths of the religious experience and the complexity of the divine-human relationship.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
