Overview

The sermons contained in this volume were originally delivered on consecutive Sabbath mornings in the regular course of J. Jones’ ministry at Richmond Hill. They have been printed exactly as they were spoken. “The 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians—Paul’s great hymn on love—is, like the 23rd Psalm, one of those passages of Scripture which the preacher hesitates to touch lest by clumsy handling he should impair its beauty,” writes Jones in the first sermon. “And yet, while it daunts the preacher it also fascinates him and challenges him.” Readers will be fascinated too as Jones expounds on 1 Corinthians 13 in 10 important sermons.

About J. D. Jones

John Daniel Jones (1865–1942) was a Congregational minister, preacher, and popular author. He earned his MA from Owen’s College, Manchester, and his BD from St. Andrews in 1889. He was later awarded honorary DD degrees from the universities of St. Andrews, Manchester, and Wales. In 1888 he became minister of Richmond Hill Church, Bournemouth, where he remained until his retirement. It was from that pulpit where most of his popular sermons were delivered and where he earned the nickname “Archbishop of Congregationalism.” His church at Richmond Hill was considered to be one of the most renowned of nonconformist congregations in the whole country of England.
