Saint Andrew

Almighty God, who didst give such grace to thine apostle Andrew that he readily obeyed the call of thy Son Jesus Christ, and brought his brother with him: Give unto us, who are called by thy Word, grace to follow him without delay, and to bring those near to us into his gracious presence; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Delivered over some two decades while he was Canon of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford (as well as Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology), these selected sermons by Oliver O’Donovan are occasions where the theologian applied himself to the pastoral homiletic discipline. This course will be a guided reading of selections from The Word in Small Boats, with a particular focus on fundamental matters of Christian faith. Newcomers to Christianity should find help here in coming to a biblical mind and heart, while old hands should themselves be challenged to see basic truths in profounder depths.

For the first half of each class, Father Austin will summarize some key points of a few sermons; the second half will allow for questions and discussion.

O’Donovan offers us beauty and clarity of expression, apt illustrations, and careful attention to the Bible passage at hand. His zeal for the gospel and his love of Scripture shine throughout.
‚ÄîThe Rt. Rev’d Thomas E. Breidenthal
bishop of Southern Ohio
