| Title | Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 66, "Sinner's plea of inability," 1821 August |
| Dates | 1821-08 |
| Abstract | A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing the idea that some Christians claim that since only God can save them there is no point in attempting to live a righteous life. Hitchcock calls this a delusion and claims it is man's responsibility to "love god with all his heart and mind and strength," and he attempts to prove in this sermon why this is the case. Isaiah 30:7 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. |
