Reviews

[Richard Brand · Rating 3 out of 5]

I happened to have a copy of the T&T Clark copy published in 1904 as part of the Scholar as Preacher series. This is a collection of sermons delivered at various places. Inge was very scholarly and often the major point of his paragraph is summed up in some foreign language quote, greek or latin. These messages deal with the great issues of life, Justice, Wisdom, Truth in Love. I think that they were extremely intellectual arguments, and at times I think I was not sure what the point was and whether it was historically conditioned. The argument appropriate for 1904 but perhaps missing in 2017.
