About the author

William Greenough Thayer Shedd, son of the Reverend Marshall Shedd and Eliza Thayer, was an American Presbyterian theologian born in Acton, Massachusetts.

In 1835, Shedd enrolled at the University of Vermont, and became a protégé of UVM president James Marsh. Under the influence of his mentor, Shedd was deeply affected by the thought of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Transcendentalism. He graduated from UVM in 1839 and taught school for one year, during which time he began to attend the Presbyterian church. Being called to the ministry, Shedd entered Andover Theological Seminary in 1840 and studied under theologian Leonard Woods. He graduated in 1843.

Reviews

[Daniel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Evangelistic sermons that are both searching and doctrinal rich. They are an excellent model of how to preach the gospel to needy sinners. I enjoyed and benefitted from them far more than I thought that I would. W. G. T. Shedd is such a brilliant writer stylistically that nearly everything he wrote is a joy to read.
