The Scourge of God: A Sermon
Overview
In July of 1832, a city-wide fast was observed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The danger of an Asiatic cholera outbreak loomed over the city and John Williamson Nevin took center stage at the First Presbyterian church to address the “angel of death” standing on the “borders with a commission to destroy”. His sermon implored people not only to pray and humble themselves before God, but also to seek practical, preventative safeguards against the potential plague.
This volume includes his full sermon along with the resolution correspondence concerning the city-wide fast.
