| Summary |
"Plain Parochial Sermons, preached in the Parish Church of Bolton-le-Moors" by the Rev. James Slade, M.A. is a collection of Christian sermons written in the early 19th century. The work focuses on delivering spiritual guidance and moral teachings based on biblical scripture, aiming to edify the congregation of Bolton-le-Moors and beyond. Through these discourses, Slade emphasizes the importance of faith, moral integrity, and a personal relationship with God. At the start of the volume, the author offers a heartfelt introduction to his collected sermons, expressing gratitude for the encouragement he received to publish them and acknowledging his initial hesitance regarding their impact outside the pulpit. He sets the tone with an exploration of the need for spiritual awakening, using scriptural references to illustrate the human condition marked by sin and the transformative power of Christ's teachings. The opening chapter invites believers to awaken from spiritual slumber and recognize their need for divine illumination, laying a foundational message that resonates throughout the sermons.
