From the cover

From the back of the book: This volume gathers twenty-four of John Keble's (1792-1866) best sermons spanning the liturgical year. Read as historical documents, these select homilies reveal the central preoccupations of his intellectual life, including his high sacramental theology and ecclesiology. But these works are also marked by the acute pastoral sense that made him beloved in his own day, and by his passionate desire that even the simplest of believers understand and embrace the life of Christian holiness. A substantial introductory essay by Maria Poggi Johnson sets his sermons in the context of Victorian religion, outlines the main themes of his thought, and suggests ways in which his homilies are relevant to contemporary Christians and students of religion.
