| William Temple (1881 – 1944) was a distinguished Anglican churchman, who served as a lecturer of philosophy at Oxford, Headmaster of Repton, Bishop of Manchester, Archbishop of York, and Archbishop of Canterbury, a position earlier held by his father Frederick. This collection, published in 1920, contains the following sermons: I. The Secret of Peace II. Sacrament and Miracle III. “Inasmuch” IV. The Essence of Idolatry V. The Eternal God VI. All Saints’ Day VII. The Comforter VIII. The Work of the Comforter IX. The Exalted Christ and the Coming of the Spirit X. The Spirit and the World XI. The Holy Spirit and the Blessed Trinity XII. God’s Call to the Church XIII. Priesthood XIV. The Christian Sacrifice XV. More Than Conquerors XVI. The Peace of God XVII. Triumphant Sacrifice XVIII. Other Worldliness XIX. The Philosophy of the Incarnation “However we may express it, the kernel of Christian experience is what S. Paul expresses by his repeated phrase ‘In Christ’,” writes Temple. “To problem after problem he applies the same solution. We are in Christ; He has taken possession of us so completely that whatever is true of Him is true of us also. Has He suffered the death-penalty due to sin? Then so have we. Has He risen from that death to life indissoluble? Then so have we. Is He enthroned in the heavenly sphere? Then so are we. We do not have to win our ascent from earth to heaven; it has been won for us. Our citizenship is in heaven—now. Our part is not to find the way there, but being there, to live worthily of our station.” |
