Fresh off the press, a major new handbook: the Oxford Handbook of the Early Modern Sermon. Edited by Peter McCullough, Hugh Adlington and Emma Rhatigan (Oxford: OUP, 2011). The Handbook is edited by three OESJD editors. The book is described on the publisher's website as follows:
'Scholarly interest in the early modern sermon has flourished in recent years, driven by belated recognition of the crucial importance of preaching to religious, cultural, and political life in early modern Britain. The Oxford Handbook of the Early Modern Sermon is the first book to survey this rich new field for both students and specialists. It is divided into sections devoted to sermon composition, delivery, and reception; sermons in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales; English Sermons, 1500-1660; and English Sermons, 1660-1720'.
