Description

Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening.

This manuscript contains two sermons by Tennent. The first sermon, "On approaching Christ," cites Hebrews 13:13-14, "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."

The second sermon, "God is the enemy to sinners," cites Zephaniah 3:2, "She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God."

From dates noted in the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote these sermons in 1746, then delivered one or both of them again in 1758.
