Baring-Gould introduces a set of preachers scarcely known even to theological students: Gabriel Biel, Jean Raulin, Meffreth, Matthias Faber, Francis Coster and others from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. For each he gives a short life, outlines of sermons and specimens of their quaint, vivid style, opened by a Dance of Death woodcut of 1513.
An early work by the author of Onward, Christian Soldiers, valuable to anyone interested in the history of preaching. Download the free EPUB.
