(William Greenough Thayer) Sermons to the Natural Man Produced by G. Graustein and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Sermons to the Natural Man" by William G. T. Shedd is a collection of theological discourses written during the late 19th century. The book ambitiously seeks to explore the human condition through the lens of scripture, focusing particularly on the psychological and moral implications of sin and the necessity of grace for redemption. Shedd aims to shed light on the natural heart's tendency toward sinfulness, making a case for the indispensable role of understanding one's own moral failings before one can grasp the concept of divine mercy and salvation. The opening of the book presents a thoughtful preface where Shedd expresses the gravity of the sermons he is about to offer, emphasizing the urgent need for individuals to recognize their sinful nature and the consequences that follow. He firmly contends that before preaching redemption, one must first diagnose the sinful condition of the heart, reminding readers of historical theological perspectives on sin and the law. He references Biblical teachings, including the Sermon on the Mount, to underline the importance of personal accountability and self-awareness regarding sin. By doing so, Shedd sets the stage for subsequent sermons that will delve into various dimensions of human experience in relation to God’s laws and judgments, ultimately guiding readers toward a sincere examination of their own spiritual states.
