Elisha Lamenting After The God Of Elijah

""Elisha Lamenting After The God Of Elijah"" is a funeral sermon delivered by Thomas Foxcroft in 1737 in Boston, Massachusetts, on the occasion of the death of the Reverend Mr. Benjamin Wadsworth. The sermon is based on the biblical story of Elisha, who mourns the loss of his mentor and spiritual guide, Elijah. Foxcroft uses this story to offer comfort and guidance to the congregation in their grief over Wadsworth's passing. The sermon reflects on the importance of spiritual leadership and the role of mentors in the lives of their followers. It also explores the themes of mortality, faith, and the afterlife. The book provides a historical snapshot of early American religious culture and offers insight into the beliefs and practices of the Puritan community in the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
