The Sermons of John Donne, Volume II【電子書籍】[ John Donne ]

＜p＞The Sermons of John Donne, edited with introductions and critical apparatus by George R. Potter and Evelyn M. Simpson, Volume II, focuses on Donne's preaching during his tenure as Reader in Divinity at Lincoln's Inn (1616?1621), a period often considered the most satisfying of his clerical career. Returning to the institution where he had studied law in his youth, Donne cultivated a unique relationship with a congregation of legally trained auditors who remembered his earlier, more worldly reputation. The twenty-three extant Lincoln's Inn sermons reveal both his struggle to establish credibility as a sincere minister and his success in winning deep affection from his hearers. Blending theological exposition with analogies drawn from law, wit, and personal humility, Donne addressed the spiritual life of a professional audience while also participating in the Inn's campaign to finance and build a new chapelーan enterprise for which he preached both preparatory and dedicatory sermons.
