| Dates | 1820-12 |
| Abstract | A sermon by Edward Hitchcock on the divinity of Jesus Christ. The line "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," from John 1:1 is quoted. Hitchcock emphasizes that those who approach the Bible with doubt are in the wrong because the concepts in it can often be too complex for humans to understand. He goes on to discuss many passages within the Bible which attest to Jesus Christ's divinity. Hitchcock notes on the front page that he delivered this sermon at Conway in December 1820 as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon. |
