Title | Edward Hitchcock sermon no. 181, "Christians members of Christ," 1823 November |
Dates | 1823-11 |
Abstract | A sermon by Edward Hitchcock discussing the idea that all Christians are part of the body of Christ. Hitchcock uses this idea to make the point that different denominations of Christianity are united in the fundamentals of their religion. He also uses it to urge his congregation to consider themselves as representing different parts of Christ's body and therefore refrain from sin. Ephesians 1:23 is quoted. Hitchcock has written the date and location of when and where he delivered this sermon as well as Bible chapters and hymns related to the sermon on the first page. |
Notes | The finding aid titles this sermon "Christian Members of Christ," but Hitchcock has clearly written "Christians," not "Christian." |
