The Reverend Phillips Brooks was undeniably one of the most popular preachers of Gilded Age America and the author of the beloved Christmas carol, 'O Little Town of Bethlehem.' However, very few critical studies of his life and work exist. In this insightful book, Gillis J. Harp places Brooks's religious thought in its proper historical, cultural, and ecclesiastical contexts while clarifying the sources of Brooks's inspiration. The result is a fuller, richer portrait of this luminous figure and of this transitional era in American protestantism.

"Preaching," writes Phillips Brooks, "is the communication of truth by man to men. It has in it two essential elements, truth and personality. Neither of those can it spare and still be preaching. The truest truth, the most authoritative statement of God’s will, communicated in any other way than through the personality of brother man to men is not preached truth." This classic is organized as follows: I. The Two Elements in Preaching II. The Preacher Himself III. The Preacher in His Work IV. The Idea of the Sermon V. The Making of the Sermon VI. The Congregation VII. The Ministry for Our Age VIII. The Value of the Human Soul
