Oxford Sermons of Oliver O'Donovan

Delivered over some two decades while he was Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford (as well as Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology), these selected sermons by Oliver O’Donovan are occasions where the theologian applied himself to the pastoral homiletic discipline. This course will be a guided reading of selections from The Word in Small Boats, with a particular focus on fundamental matters of Christian faith. Newcomers to Christianity should find help here in coming to a biblical mind and heart, while old hands should themselves be challenged to see basic truths in profounder depths.

For the first half of each class, Father Austin will summarize some key points of a few sermons; the second half will allow for questions and discussion.

O’Donovan offers us beauty and clarity of expression, apt illustrations, and careful attention to the Bible passage at hand. His zeal for the gospel and his love of Scripture shine throughout.

bishop of Southern Ohio
