Sermons, Doctrinal, Experimental, and Practical. 1798

Sermons, Doctrinal, Experimental, and Practical, Vol.1 (1798) by Nathan Strong, D.D. Strong was educated at Yale, A.B. 1769, A.M. 1772, was a Tutor there 1772-3, and was ordained to the Presbyterian pastorate in 1774. An ardent supporter of the American Revolution, he served as a chaplain to the 22d Continental Infantry, in 1776. Princeton granted him an honorary Doctorate of Divinity in 1801. His sermons reproduced here, are a rare and remarkable "window" into the minds and motivations of the typical citizen, no less the politicians, of the Revolutionary period. As one reads them, Strong's acute insight into human nature, metaphysics, and eternity not only bring to light the often ignored spirituality of the era, they seem to find a significant and transforming relevance to our lives today.
