subject: Presbyterian Church
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 title of the first sermon is illegible, but it is on the subject of ministers as spiritual builders. Tennent begins by this sermon by citing Matthew 21:42, "Jesus said to them, Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?" He also cites Ephesians 2:20-21, "And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord." Tennent begins the second sermon, "On Christ as a servant of God," by citing Zechariah 3:8, "Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch. He also cites Matthew 20:2-8, "For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard..." From dates noted in the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote these sermons in 1747, then delivered one or both of them again in 1750, 1758, and 1761.

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.

Translating the title of the second sermon is tricky; it looks like Tennent wrote "De smaragdine pretii," which translates to "On the emerald of great price," but it is likely he meant "De margarita pretii," which translates to "The pearl of great price." He begins this sermon with reference to Matthew 13:45-46, "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it." From dates noted in the manuscript, it looks like Tennant delivered these sermons in 1745, then delivered one or both of them again in 1747, 1748, 1755, and 1763.

Gilbert Tennent sermons 70, "De officiis mariti et uxoris" (On the duties of husband and wife), 1745
subject: Second Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)
subject: Sermons
subject: Tennent, Gilbert, 1703-1764
subject: Great Awakening
subject: Presbyterians
subject: Bible. Colossians
subject: Presbyterian Church
description: Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening. Tennent begins this sermon on the Christian duties of husbands and wives with reference to Colossians 3:18-19, "Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them." He offers practical advice and pastoral counseling, and reviews the duties of each marriage partner; then explains these duties through examples from the Old and New Testaments. His advice is, in some ways, fair-minded and down-to earth, in other ways idealistic and reflecting the standards of the time, with the husband as the head of the family with the major responsibilities for earning and for guiding and instructing his wife and any children, allowing her the running of the household if she's competent, and otherwise granting her those few responsibilities "below his authority," such as managing the kitchen and servants. From dates noted in the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote this sermon in 1745, then delivered it again in 1748, 1751, and 1756.
