This book is a collection of sermons on the first five books of the Bible, written by the influential British preacher Charles Simeon. The sermons were based on the works of the French theologian Jean Claude and were originally preached in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The sermons provide a fascinating insight into the interpretation and application of the Bible during a time of great religious and social change in Britain.
