A Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 12: Second Series (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 12: Second Series
Except for such valuable help - chicfly however in the way of. Comment and explana tion - as Canon Bright's volume (s. Leo on the Incarnation) has supplied, both the selection and the translation of the Letters and Sermons of Leo Magnus are practically original. It is even more difficult to feel satisfied oneself, than to satisfy others either with a selection from a great man's works or with a translation of them. The powers of Leo as a preacher both of doctrine and of practice are very remarkable, and in my anxiety to keep within the limits imposed by the publishers, I have erred in presenting too few rather than too many of the Sermons to the English reader. Only those that are generally held genuine are represented, though several of the doubtful ones are fine sermons, and those translated are in most cases no better than those omitted. Even when the same thought is repeated again and again (as is Often the case), it is almost always clothed in such different language, and surrounded with so many other thoughts of value, that every sermon has an almost equal claim to be selected.
