Characteristics of the Gospel Miracles: Sermons Preached before the University of Cambridge with Notes
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
This volume presents sermons preached by B. F. Westcott at the University of Cambridge. He notes, “the subject which I have approached in these sermons was directly suggested by the services of the three Sundays after Epiphany on which they were preached; and the festival of the conversion of St. Paul, which fell within the same period, seemed to furnish in some sense a practical illustration of the lessons which it conveys.” Westcott focuses on the miracles of the Gospels, examining them across the whole as one epiphany of Christ, and relating them to the broader narrative of the Gospels and of Scripture. The sermons reprinted here also include notes.
