8 Sermons on the Priesthood, Altar, and Sacrifice
Transcribed from the 1867 James Parker and Co. edition by David Price
"Eight Sermons on the Priesthood, Altar, and Sacrifice" by Mayow Wynell Mayow is a theological work written in the late 19th century. The book discusses the enduring significance of the priesthood, sacrificial practices, and the nature of the altar within the context of Christian doctrine, aiming to defend Catholic beliefs against contemporary criticism. The sermons emphasize a return to the ancient foundations of faith amidst the confusion of modern theology. The opening of the text introduces the context in which the sermons were delivered—at St. Mary's Church in West Brompton in 1866—and reveals the author's intention to reaffirm traditional Christian beliefs regarding the priesthood and the concept of sacrifice. Through a variety of scriptural references and theological arguments, Mayow begins to explore the idea that true treasures of faith are often found in humble vessels, asserting the necessity of the priestly function and sacramental practices as crucial to the Christian faith. He addresses potential objections and underscores the continuity of these doctrines from the earliest Christian times, setting the stage for a thorough examination of these themes in the subsequent sermons.
