Lancelot Andrewes

Ninety-Six Sermons is a book written by the Right Honorable and Reverend Father in God, Lancelot Andrewes. The book was originally published in 1843 and is a collection of sermons given by Andrewes during his time as a bishop in the Church of England. The sermons cover a wide range of topics, including theology, morality, and spirituality. Andrewes is known for his eloquence and erudition, and his sermons are considered to be some of the finest examples of English preaching from the 17th century. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of theology and religious history, as well as anyone interested in the history of the Church of England.

Originally published in 1932 as part of the Cambridge Plain Texts series, this volume contains the substance of two Easter sermons by Anglican bishop and scholar Lancelot Andrewes (1555–1626). The texts display the characteristic intelligence and clarity of Andrewes's sermons, qualities which have made them an abiding influence in both non-secular and secular contexts. An editorial introduction is also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Andrewes and his works.

This intimately personal but basically Scriptural book has already enriched the prayers of thousands. It shows why Andrewes is remembered as one of the founders of Anglicanism. Lancelot Andrewes preached the funeral sermon of Elizabeth I and was chairman of the group responsible for the Authorized Version to the end of II Kings. He was Dean of Westminster and Bishop of Winchester, and is buried in Southwark Cathedral. He is best known for his Preces Privatae, here introduced with an essay by Dr Hugh Martin. These prayers were originally written in Greek, Hebrew and Latin, and the English of this edition recalls another piece of religious history, for most of it appeared as one of the Tracts for the Times in 1840, the translator being J. H. Newman. Another part is translated by the Victorian hymnologist, J. M. Neale.
