J.W. Alexander
368 pages
While Jesus Christ and Him crucified was the theme of James W. Alexander's ministry in New York, it was at the times of the celebration of the Lord's Supper that many of his most remarkable sermons on the atoning work of Christ were preached. Never was the praise of Christ more abundant in New York than in the closing years of his life which saw the great revival of 1857. His death, two years later, was marked by this commemorative book, made up of a selection of his 'sacramental discourses'.
Nothing, Alexander believed, can make the contrite happy but the assurance of God's love. And that love is to be seen in looking to the Saviour and to the cross.
