PREFACE. THIS attempt to expound the Epistle to the Christians in Rome is published at the repeated request of many members of the congregation of South Lambeth Chapel. The sermons are printed almost verbatim as they were delivered. If any sentences appear too rhetorical, let it be remembered that they were written to be spoken, not to be read. And if this book should fall into the hands of a critic, let him not forget the persons for whose instruction it was originally prepared. As for the Theology, it is (as I believe) that which the Church in England has commissioned me to teach. |
