Wheat And Tares (1860)

Wheat and Tares is a book written by Henry Stewart Cunningham and was first published in 1860. The book is a collection of sermons and lectures that Cunningham delivered to his congregation during his time as a minister in the Church of Scotland. The title of the book is taken from a parable in the Bible where Jesus talks about the coexistence of good and evil in the world, using the metaphor of wheat and tares growing together in a field.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the parable of the wheat and tares and explores the themes of good and evil, sin and redemption, and the nature of God's judgment. Cunningham uses the parable as a starting point to discuss the moral and ethical challenges of living in a world where good and evil coexist.The second part of the book contains sermons and lectures on a variety of topics, including the nature of faith, the importance of prayer, the role of the church in society, and the challenges of living a Christian life in the modern world. Cunningham's writing is characterized by his deep knowledge of scripture and his ability to draw on a wide range of theological and philosophical traditions.Overall, Wheat and Tares is a thought-provoking and insightful book that explores some of the most fundamental questions of human existence. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in theology, philosophy, or spirituality, and remains a classic of Christian literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
