Believing

This volume of sermons is organized according to the Apostles Creed which expresses Daviess own solid faith as a Christian believer. But the sermons themselves apply to a variety of situations from history psychology and lore. Davies uses the intellect to touch and console the heart. Horton Davies first held a parish in Wallingford London during World War II. Later during some summers in America he also had interim pastorates at Brookfield Connecticut and at Tunbridge Vermont. He held appointments successively at Rhodes University South Africa; Oxford University; Princeton University; Princeton Theological Seminary; and Drew University. He is the author of among other books Worship and Theology in England; Varieties of English Preaching 1900-1960; and Like Angels from a Cloud: The English Metaphysical Preachers 1588-1645.
