The sermons blend intellectual insights with heartfelt messages, aiming to console and inspire readers through thoughtful exploration of faith and its relevance to everyday life.

Focusing on the Golden Age of the English Pulpit, this comprehensive study examines over forty Anglican preachers, offering an in-depth analysis that has not been previously undertaken. While individual sermons by figures like Donne and Andrewes have been explored, this work uniquely addresses the collective contributions and styles of metaphysical preachers, shedding light on their significance in the context of English religious discourse.

This book ventures a fresh look at the Eucharist in ways that draw Christians together rather than divide them. A respected scholar of liturgical history, Horton Davies here explores the Eucharist as memorial, as thanksgiving, as sacrifice, as eschatological banquet, as communion, as mystery, and as liberation and social justice. A separate chapter examines the unitive concept of transignification. Although the book as a whole presents ecumenical perspectives on the bread of life and cup of joy, Davies also looks at areas of disagreement among the partners in ecumenical discussion.
