Transcribed by David Price "The Gospel of the Pentateuch: A Set of Parish Sermons" by Charles Kingsley is a collection of sermons likely written in the mid-19th century. This work seeks to impart a deeper understanding of the Pentateuch, illustrating how its teachings are integral to the Christian faith and relevant to the moral and spiritual lives of the congregation. Kingsley emphasizes the historical and divine authenticity of the Old Testament, aiming to reconcile faith with the challenges posed by biblical criticism prevalent in his time. At the start of the collection, Kingsley dedicates his sermons to a Rev. Canon Stanley, expressing gratitude for a previous work that re-energized his own faith and approach to biblical preaching. He discusses foundational aspects of the Pentateuch, particularly God's creation of the world as portrayed in Genesis, exploring its spiritual significance rather than focusing on critical debates surrounding the text. Kingsley argues for the importance of understanding God as the ultimate author of the world, positioning the sermons as a faithful interpretation that encourages believers to see Scripture as a living guide rather than an antiquated text. Overall, the opening sets a tone of reverence and earnestness, inviting readers to engage with the profound truths of the Old Testament in the light of faith and moral living.
