"The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the
Christian Church" is a multivolume study by Hughes Oliphant Old
that explores the history of preaching from the words of Moses at
Mount Sinai through modern times. This sixth volume, "The Modern
Age," tells the story from the French Revolution to the fall of the
Berlin Wall -- an age that began with a rejection of Christian
civilization yet ended with the failure of an anti-Christian state
to take its place. As the church undertook to resist
secularization, come to grips with biblical criticism, and initiate
overseas missions, preaching continued to support its historic
faith.
Opening with the revived Catholic Order of Preachers,
continental Protestants such as Abraham Kuyper, and the
self-consciously modern preaching of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Old
moves on to consider such Victorian figures as John Henry Newman
and Charles Haddon Spurgeon. He carefully lays out tensions in
America between the evangelical Calvinism of New England and the
Old School, as well as the beginnings of black preaching and the
great American school of Charles Finney, Dwight L. Moody, Harry
Emerson Fosdick, and many more. In the twentieth century Old's
focus falls on the crises of the two world wars, especially the
courageous ministries of German, Dutch, and Hungarian preachers
during the Third Reich.
