*Susan Wabuda, Renaissance Quarterly *
Under the leadership of Torrance Kirby, the distinguished editorial
team of Paul Stanwood, Mary Morrissey, and John King, with
contributing editors Cecilia Hatt, Mark Rankin, and Richard Rex,
have done an outstanding job of bringing this selection of both
famous and less well-known sermons vividly to life. Concise
introductory essays preface the volume and each of the five regnal
sections. Equally succinct essays precede each of the eighteen
sermons, providing biographical information, historical, religious,
and political contexts, and notes on textual and editorial
conventions... Biblical and intermediary sources are identified,
preachers terminology and hard words are glossed, textual variants
recorded, and topical allusions explicated. The edition also
contains an immensely useful bibliography of extant Pauls Cross
sermons, and readers will be grateful for an index that lists
themes as well as names.
