As we continue to build our Presbyterian library at Log College Press, we wanted to highlight some new additions to the Thomas Dwight Witherspoon page that are well worth checking out. These new materials comprises mostly devotional pieces and sermons which he published in the 1880s and 1890s.

Here is a list of some of the new additions:

  • Saul Preaching Christ (1883);

  • Samuel the Judge (1883);

  • Paul at Corinth (1884);

  • Confidence in God (1884);

  • The True Oblation (1884);

  • God’s Great Sacrifice (1884);

  • Desire for Communion (1884);

  • The Material Decays — Only the Spiritual Abides: A Baccalaureate Sermon (1884);

  • Sowing in Tears (1884);

  • Paul Before Agrippa (1885);

  • The Gracious Invitation (1885);

  • The God of Jeshurun [opening sermon before the PCUS General Assembly] (1885);

  • The Christian’s Surrender to Christ (1885);

  • The Priceless Legacy: A Sermon to Young Men (1890); and

  • Christ as the Rain (1891).

The last devotional meditation was written on a rainy Lord’s Day and uses the imagery in Scripture from Hosea 6:3 (“He shall come to us as the rain”) to portray Christ as a gentle rain who gives life and refreshment to our souls.

Feel free to browse, meditate on and download these works for further study. T.D. Witherspoon is a treasure, and we hope to keep adding to his page as we go along, D.V. Also, if you have not already, be sure to check out his Five Points of Presbyterianism.
