Jonathan Edwards achieved the greatest sustained mastery of the sermon form between January 1734 and December 1738, a time in which he also kindled his first revival. The Northampton revival spread to neighboring towns and villages, as did Edwards’s renown. And the sermons of these years exhibit not only splendid rhetoric but also figural intricacies and tonal nuances that reveal his maturity as a writer.During this period Edwards delivered probably four hundred sermons and lectures. Of the fewer than half that survive, some extend the reach of the previous dozen years of his ministry, others engage speculative theological issues, others touch on pastoral life, and still others deal with conversion and, in time, declension. Edwards also wrote a full account of the Northampton revival, A Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God, which was published in 1737 in London and Edinburgh and within a year was reprinted there, issued in Boston in three printings, and translated into German. In addition, near the end of the period Edwards put together Discourses on Various Important Subjects, five sermons about the Awakening and the only gathering of sermons he saw through the press.

Before the advent of printing, the preaching of the friars was the mass medium of the middle ages. This edition of marriage sermons reveals what a number of famous preachers actually taught about marriage. David D'Avray teases out the close connection between marriage symbolism and social, cultural, and legal realities in the thirteenth century; and assesses the impact of this preaching. (OUP)

Proclus was one of the most acccomplished, if not the most accomplished preacher in the post-Chrysostom era in Constantinople, achieving a high level of popularity. Whether we as modern readers can fully appreciate the rhetorically-orientated nature of his preaching or not, the style and contents of his homilies are both impressive and of theological importance respectively. In particular, his homilies are a valuable source for the christological issues of the time, and formed an important basis for the subsequent formulation of the orthodox faith at Chalcedon in 451. Sadly, and in all probability due to Proclus' role as conciliator rather than active participant in the dogmatic disputes of his time, his work has not received the same attention as that of the more prominent players, such as Cyril of Alexandria. In a translation that conveys the highly rhetorical flavour of the original, Jan H. Barkhuizen makes accessible for the first time in English a substantial portion of the corpus, namely the twenty-seven homilies which deal with aspects of the life of Christ. This translation will go a long way towards creating a greater appreciation of Proclus as preacher and exponent of the orthodox faith of his times.
