This varied and vast collection captures more than 160 sermons developed and delivered by John Coburn — prominent church leader, educator, and rector at St. James Church in New York City. Powerful, yet readily accessible, the sermons reflect Coburn's refined understanding of personal spirituality, Christian responsibility, congregational life, and the Christian journey. The collection also includes significant meditations for Lent and Easter, plus Coburn's personal and professional observations on life, church, culture, politics, and the nation at large.
