Originally published in 1932 as part of the Cambridge Plain Texts series, this volume contains the substance of two Easter sermons by Anglican bishop and scholar Lancelot Andrewes (1555–1626). The texts display the characteristic intelligence and clarity of Andrewes's sermons, qualities which have made them an abiding influence in both non-secular and secular contexts. An editorial introduction is also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Andrewes and his works.
