Sermons and excerpts from Drummond, Finney, Aquinas and Kuyper on the topic of divine and human love.
The Greatest Thing in the World by Henry Drummond (1851-1897), quite possibly the most famous and well loved sermon on 1 Corinthians 13 in history.
God's Love Commended to Us by Charles G. Finney (1792-1875), a Presbyterian minister and the father of Revival Theology teaches on Romans 5:8
Of the Principal Act of Charity, Which is to Love by St. Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) from his theological masterwork Summa Theologica asks such questions as "Is it better to love or to be loved?", "Can we truly love God?" and Is it better to love God or to love our neighbor?"
Love by Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920) is an excerpt from his book "The Work of the Holy Spirit" dealing with the differences between divine and human love and the dwelling of divine love in the human heart.
Charles Grandison Finney was a Presbyterian minister who became an important figure in the Second Great Awakening. His influence during this period was enough that he has been called "The Father of Modern Revivalism".
In addition to becoming a popular Christian evangelist, Finney was involved with the abolitionist movement and frequently denounced slavery from the pulpit.
Finney was known for his innovations in preaching and religious meetings, such as having women pray in public meetings of mixed gender, development of the "anxious seat" (a place where those considering becoming Christians could come to receive prayer), and public censure of individuals by name in sermons and prayers. He was also known for his use of extemporaneous preaching.
No man in his day and generation was more signally blessed of God in winning souls than Charles G. Finney. Thousands and tens of thousands in this and other lands were brought to Christ through his instrumentality. It is hoped that this brief study of his life and labors may stimulate others to renewed effort in seeking to bring men to a saving knowledge of Him who is our Redeemer and Lord.
