C. Matthew McMahon
Christian Preacher
Practical Divinity by William Fenner (1600–1640)
William Fenner (1600–1640) was one of the clearest voices of seventeenth-century English Puritanism. His sermons are plain, zealous, and piercing, filled with Scripture and applied with searching force.
This volume gathers William Fenner’s most searching and urgent sermons, preserved and modernized so that their fire may strike fresh in our day. Here are his amazing works on Importunate Prayer (Luke 11:9), showing how a soul must ask, seek, and knock until heaven yields grace, mercy, and peace. Here are his funeral sermons on the death of the righteous (Isaiah 57:1), pressing home the bitter loss of godly men, the peril of a nation when its pillars are removed, and the call to mourn when glory departs from the earth. The Signs of God’s Forsaking a People (Jeremiah 14:9), is a scorching rebuke to England’s sins in his own day, and a warning to every nation fattened with privileges yet careless of God’s presence. “A Caveat Against Late Repentance” is one of the best sermon on the text of Luke 23:42, “And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom” concerning the thief on the cross.
