| Title | Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 23, "Characters that are shut out of heaven," 1820 June |
| Dates | 1820-06 |
| Abstract | A sermon by Edward Hitchcock in which Hitchcock discusses a parable about ten virgins (five wise and five foolish) in which the foolish were shut out of a wedding feast for being unprepared. Hitchcock claims the parable is representative of those who will be shut out of heaven since they have not truly accepted Christianity and are therefore unprepared. Matthew 25:10 is quoted. Hitchcock has noted on the first page the dates and locations where he delivered this sermon as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon. |
