About this listen

 Dive into the literary masterpiece of Simeons Works, published in 1832, which spans twenty-one substantial octavo volumes. The title page introduces Horae Homileticae or Discourses (principally in the form of Skeletons), a groundbreaking collection that serves as a comprehensive commentary on every book of the Old and New Testament. Accompanying this is an enhanced edition of Claudes Essay on the Composition of a Sermon. This monumental work represents the pinnacle of Simeons literary career, bringing forth a treasure trove of fully crafted discourses, including several sets of University Sermons. Most notably, it features over two thousand well-structured outlines of parochial sermons, meticulously arranged according to the scriptures. While the author candidly notes that readers should not expect intricate criticism or far-flung theories, they will discover a wealth of invaluable insights on how to elucidate, organize, and convey the profound messages of the Word of God into everyday life. Although the term Skeleton may have drawn laughs from critics, these outlines are far from lifeless; they are the very framework of sermons that Simeon animated and brought to life, passionately guiding his young men to do the same. - Summary by Handley Carr Glyn MouleCopyright Religious Texts and Commentary Christianity Ministry & Evangelism Spirituality
