Abstract
Edward Hitchcock's sermon on the significance of Christ's birth for all the world, based on Luke 2: 10-11 ("And the angel said unto them fear not, of behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord"). Hitchcock opened his sermon with brief remarks on the probability that the exact date of Christ's birth is known. The main focus, however, was to consider the reasons the birth was "good tidings of great joy to all people." Hitchcock first described the general state of the world prior to Christ's appearance, quoting extensively from Paul's epistle to the Romans, especially chapter 1, verses 21-31. He then enumerated the changes "that took place in the condition of the human race upon the Saviour's birth." Hitchcock noted on the first page the dates and places where he had delivered this sermon between 1823 and 1836 as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon.
