  The past 2,000 years have seen an awful lot of sermons. The average Sunday homily from the local vicar rarely survives until the following week, but some sermons have stood the test of time. Whether expounding a new theology, or placing a turning point in history in its spiritual context, many of the great religious dialogues of the past two millennia have started as sermons rather than books.This volume collects together the most outstanding, moving, theologically and politically significant sermons. Starting with the Sermon on the Mount, the collection will feature the giants of spirituality including *St Paul * Ambrose * Augustine * Benedict * Thomas a Becket * Aquinas * Erasmus * Martin Luther * Calvin * Ignatius of Loyola * John Donne * Cromwell * Vincent de Paul * Cotton Maher * John Wesley * Newman * Ronald Knox * Norman Vincent Peale * Pope John XXII * among many others.
