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. In Volume 5, Moderatism, Pietism, and
Awakening, Old brings the story of preaching up through the
eighteenth century, showing how, after the tumultuous age of the
Reformation, preaching in the eighteenth century was driven in
several very different directions. The book's first chapter
considers moderatism, an inevitable reaction against the high
tensions of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation. In the second
chapter Old discusses pietism, examining the contributions of
Philipp Jakob Spener, Theodorus Jacobus Frelinghuysen, John Wesley,
George Whitefield, Samuel Davies, and other preachers. The
remaining seven chapters delve into a variety of national or
denominational schools of preaching."

Clairvaux and Bonaventure, Old also provides extensive analyses of

Latin rites on the one hand and the Anabaptist movement on the

"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.
This magisterial volume is the seventh and last of Hughes Oliphant
Old's history of preaching. Here Old takes up the story with the
sixties and the Second Vatican Council and follows it all the way

the way he looks at the engaging preaching found in Latin America,
the rise of the modern megachurch, the role of Joan Alexandru's
preaching in bringing down the house of Ceausescu, and other
historically significant moments in preaching. / Full of surprising
details and inspiring stories of ministry, this book is a fitting
work to round out Old's monumental, comprehensive series written by
a preacher for preachers on the history of preaching in the
Christian church.
