About this listen

 Published in 1832, Simeons monumental work, Horae Homileticae, spans twenty-one large octavo volumes and serves as a comprehensive commentary on every book of the Old and New Testament. The title page promises a collection of discourses, primarily presented as outlines or Skeletons, that are both insightful and practical. While these volumes are now rare, they contain a wealth of fully developed sermons alongside over two thousand well-structured outlines, meticulously arranged by the Scriptures. As the author cautions, readers seeking intricate criticism or abstract theories may be disappointed; however, they will discover invaluable guidance on how to interpret and apply Biblical messages to everyday life. Although the term Skeleton has faced criticism, these outlines are far from lifeless—they are the very framework of sermons that Simeon passionately brought to life, teaching his students to do the same.
