Sermons of the Great Ejection

A fine introduction to Puritan preaching, this little book also recalls one of
the great turning points in English Christianity ù for these sermons were
preached on Æthe Farewell SundayÆ in August, 1662, when two thousand ministers
left the national Church for conscienceÆ sake. Much has been written on that
Great Ejection, but nothing is more important than to hear the ejected speak
for themselves. Their watchword was:
I preach as never sure to preach again,
And as a dying man to dying men.
This new edition of Sermons of the Great Ejection not only commemorates the
350th anniversary of a noteworthy historical event but, more importantly, gives
a real insight into the theology, godliness, and preaching of the Puritans. Why
is this relevant? For two reasons: (i) as the blurb on the first edition said,
Æsuch preaching could set England alight again in our own timesÆ; and (ii) the
issues of 1662 are directly relevant to the present situation in the church
when the emphasis is once again upon conformity and unity at the expense of
truth and holiness. May this little book be an encouragement to men of gospel
truth and integrity everywhere.
