    John Miller Wells - Southern Presbyterian Worthies: Daniel Baker, The Evangelist (1936)

    John Miller Wells - Southern Presbyterian Worthies: Daniel Baker, The Evangelist (1936) . . . Southern Presbyterian Worthies, by John Miller Wells, tells the stories of several pastors who ministered in the old Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS). This episode is a reading of his chapter on Daniel Baker, one of the greatest revival preachers of the 19th century. He pastored and preached across the country, and ended his life in Texas, laboring for the gospel of Jesus and the building of a college to train ministers of the gospel for Texas. Baker is a man who needs to be remembered, and Wells' brief biography wonderfully introduces us to this giant of evangelistic preaching.

    John Miller Wells - Southern Presbyterian Worthies: John Leighton Wilson, The Foreign Missionary (1936)

    John Miller Wells - Southern Presbyterian Worthies: John Leighton Wilson, The Foreign Missionary (1936) . . . Southern Presbyterian Worthies, by John Miller Wells, tells the stories of several pastors who ministered in the old Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS). This episode is a reading of his chapter on John Leighton Wilson, a foreign missionary in Africa, missionary statesman, and secretary/coordinator of foreign and home missions for the PCUS from 1861 until 1885. His story is one that has been forgotten, but he needs to be remembered as a man of faith and action who led the church of Jesus Christ to pursue the salvation of the lost to the four corners of the globe. (Typically, this podcast posts a picture of the author of the work read; in this case, the picture is actually of Wilson.)

    Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield - Imitating the Incarnation (1913)

    Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield - Imitating the Incarnation (1913) . . . This sermon by "The Lion of Princeton" unfolds both the theology and the import of Paul's magisterial description of the selfless love of the eternal Son on God in Philippians 2:5-8. Warfield's provocative exposition is challenging on many levels, but in the end he will leave you longing to be more like Jesus is His self-giving sacrifice.

    James Henley Thornwell - Antinomianism (1840)

    James Henley Thornwell - Antinomianism (1840) . . . Thornwell was one of the most influential theologians in the 19th century American Presbyterian Church. This little piece was an appendix to a reprint of Robert Traill's classic work on justification, which Thornwell published as a tract. In it, Thornwell shows how the gospel is opposed to both legalism and lawlessness, and how justification and sanctification are linked together in the plan of salvation.

    Daniel Dana - The Importance of Seriousness for a Minister (1840)

    Daniel Dana - The Importance of Seriousness for a Minister (1840) . . .  Daniel Dana (1771-1859) was a Presbyterian pastor in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. This piece was originally an article in the American Quarterly Register. In it, Dana speaks to the reasons why a minister must be serious, the nature of a minister's seriousness, and the influence and effect of his seriousness. This topic is generally unknown in our day and age, thus it is well worth thirty minutes of your time.
