(Update on 9-3-07: It appears that many, if not all, of these sermons can be found in an older edition available for free on Google books HERE.)
Soli Deo Gloria has a new book available that contains sermons preached by James Ussher in 1640. I first learned about this from the Irish Reformation blog. My copy arrived in the mail last Tuesday :-)
The book contains 19 sermons. Here's the table of contents:
Sermon 1 - Speedy Conversion the Only Means to Prevent Imminent Destruction, Part 1
Sermon 2 - Speedy Conversion the Only Means to Prevent Imminent Destruction, Part 2
Sermon 3 - All Men Are Dead in Sin
Sermon 4 - The Sinner's Disease and Remedy
Sermon 5 - The Purpose of the Law
Sermon 6 - The Consequences of Sin
Sermon 7 - Death, the Wages of Sin
Sermon 8 - The Place of Torment
Sermon 9 - The Satisfaction of Christ
Sermon 10 - The Humiliation of Christ
Sermon 11 - The Sacrifice of Christ
Sermon 12 - Faith
Sermon 13 - Come to the Throne of Grace
Sermon 14 - Peace with God, Part 1
Sermon 15 - Peace with God, Part 2
Sermon 16 - Peace with God, Part 3
Sermon 17 - Peace with God, Part 4
Sermon 18 - The Seal of Salvation, Part 1
Sermon 19 - The Seal of Salvation, Part 2
I've mentioned in other places that Norman Douty, in his book Did Christ Die Only for the Elect?, has this interesting comment about James Ussher:
"Richard Baxter, reporting a personal interview with Ussher, says that he "declared his judgment for that doctrine of Universal Redemption which I asserted, and gloried that he was the man who brought Bishop Davenant and Dr. Preston to it" (page 144 in Douty). This comment has a footnote (#39) which cites Morris Fuller's work The Life, Letters and Writings of John Davenant, D. D. (London, 1897), p. 521.
I will be try to read these sermons as soon as possible and provide some insightful quotes by Ussher that touch on the nature of the death of Christ. Ussher is outstanding on the subject.
I bought my copy of Ussher's sermons from Reformation Heritage Books.
