Christian's Heritage; and Other Sermons
Melancthon Williams Jacobus and Matthew Newkirk
This collection was edited by Matthew Newkirk, Jacobus’ son-in-law. According to Newkirk’s Preface, “Many former parishioners and admiring hearers of Dr. Jacobus have requested for publication these sermons which they have heard with profit.” In accordance with their wishes, these 20 sermons “are now presented, without alteration or revision, just as they were written and left” (p. iii, emphasis in the original).
