Description
Excerpt from The Sermons of Thomas Adams, the Shakespeare of Puritan Theologians: A Selection Edited by John Brown
Thomas adams, a Selection from whose Sermons is here given, was an English divine of the 17th Century whom Southey pronounced to be the prose Shakespeare of Puritan theologians scarcely inferior to Fuller in wit or to Taylor in fancy.'' Another eminent writer, of later date, claims for Adams that ''he stands in the forefront of our great English preachers, and while not so sustained as Jeremy Taylor, nor so continuously sparkling as Thomas Fuller, is yet surpassingly eloquent and brilliant, and much more thought laden than either.''
