"The World's Great Sermons, Volume 02: Hooker to South" by Grenville Kleiser is a compilation of significant sermons written during the early 20th century. This volume specifically features the works of influential preachers such as Thomas Hooker and Jeremy Taylor, traversing themes of faith, obedience, and the profound nature of salvation. The collection aims to present the wisdom and theological insights of notable sermons that resonate with the principles of Christianity. The opening of this compilation begins with an introduction to Thomas Hooker, who argues that true faith, represented through the biblical figure Abraham, results in a productive and faithful life marked by obedience to God’s commands. Hooker outlines how genuine faith is not merely a belief system but a motivating force that compels believers to action and moral integrity. He delves into the significance of walking in the footsteps of faith, emphasizing that those who claim to be children of Abraham must also exhibit a life of fruitful discipleship. This foundational discourse sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the sermons that follow, which engage with similar spiritual themes and encourage readers to reflect on their commitment to faith and behavioral alignment with divine commandments.
