Description
Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening.
Tennent begins this sermon by citing Colossians 3:11, "Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all," and Colossians 1:19, "For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell."
From dates noted in the manuscript it appears that Tennent wrote this sermon in 1744, then delivered it again in 1747 and 1749.

Abstract
Christus omnia in omnibus (Christ is all, and in all)
explores the concept of fullness or completion in Christ, the many ways he is the all and in all, quoting either in full text or with notes and prompts
drawn from a dense forest of Bible citations from both Testaments. Talks of the saintly people who follow him and the reasons for their strong belief: their need of him and their hope of salvation. Provides an examination or set of questions and answers for people to weigh their lives and beliefs.
