[EAN: 9781330685044], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from The Undiscovered Country: And Other Addresses It is hard enough to find a proper preface to a volume of sermons. A man may be led to publish a book for a variety of reasons. He may know something better than any one else (or think he does) and persuade himself - which is easy - and a publisher - which is more difficult - that such knowledge may be shared with the world to the profit alike of the author, the publisher and the world. But there is nothing in any volume of sermons which is not already of common knowledge; the best sermons are preached out of the most generally shared experience. Nor can the preacher plead a crying demand for his printed wares. A friend has recently been trying to fit a library, accumulated through many years of scholarly preaching, to the trying dimensions of an apartment. He had upon his shelves what his Puritan forbears would have called an unusually sound body of divinity. He has been eventually reduced to the expedient of giving his books away and found even that a wearing task.
