Beecher to Bushnell" by Grenville Kleiser is a collection of influential sermons written in the early 20th century. This volume encompasses a selection of notable discourses from prominent preachers such as Lyman Beecher, William Ellery Channing, and Thomas Chalmers, among others. The central theme of the book is to explore significant spiritual and moral topics through the lens of Christian preaching, showcasing the wisdom and oratory of various theological figures. The opening of the collection introduces Lyman Beecher's sermon titled "The Government of God Desirable," which emphasizes the necessity and desirability of divine governance over the world. Beecher argues that the governance of God is essential for the ultimate good and moral order of humanity, stating that human beings should surrender their will to God's greater wisdom. He presents a compelling case for the belief that God's knowledge, power, and goodness make His governance not only preferable but also necessary for the flourishing of creation. This sets the stage for the subsequent sermons, each delving into foundational Christian principles and moral teachings, making the volume a significant resource for theological study and reflection.
