The Sermons of Ronald Knox, in Evelyn Waugh\'s estimation, contain the very best of his literary talent and Pastoral sensibility.
Comparable only with Newman\'s Oxford Sermons in their scope and brilliance-in the words of the volume\'s editor, Philip Caraman, S.
J.-Ronald Knox\'s Pastoral Sermons is a peerless manual of meditation whose balanced and graceful instructions are certain to direct its readers toward that charity and freedom which characterizes the life lived in-and for-the Lord Jesus Christ..
Covering nine discrete topics (Our Father
The Temptations of Christ
The Sermon on the Mount
The Mystery of the Kingdom
The Harvest of the Cross
The Cross of Christ
The Eucharist
Feasts and Seasons of the Year; and St Paul\'s Gospel), Knox fulfills his duty as a Christian teacher, instructing his listeners in the truths of the faith, the saving graces of the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), and the joyful message of Christ\'s own words and deeds.
Pastoral Sermons presents one hundred and eight superb examples of this excellent preaching.
Prepared, revised and rehearsed with every refinement of taste and skill, the Sermons convey their instruction simply and directly: refreshingly conversational in tone, faithfully and knowledgably reliant on Sacred Scripture, and profoundly powerful in content, allusion, and spiritual consolation.
