Charles Simeon’s Horae Homileticae – Volume 14 (John 13 – Acts)

Description

Charles Simeon was born in 1759 and died in 1836. He was the pastor of Trinity Church in Cambridge (England) for 54 years. He is best known for his Horae Homileticae, which are 21 volumes of “sermon skeletons” from Genesis through Revelation.

In his biography on Charles Simeon, John Piper said of these volumes: “You can find his views on almost every key text in the Bible.” He also said: “What Simeon experienced in the word was remarkable. It is so utterly different from the counsel that we receive today that it is worth looking at carefully” (Meditations on the Life of Charles Simeon).

One of Simeon’s fundamental principles was for the Bible to speak for itself instead of placing presuppositions (theological systems) over God’s word. This is the fourteenth volume (John 13 – Acts).
