Sermons to Young Women information


Sermons to Young Women (1766), often called Fordyce's Sermons, is a two-volume compendium of sermons compiled by James Fordyce,[1] a Scottish Presbyterian clergyman,[2] which were originally delivered by himself and others.[2] They were intended for a primarily female audience.

Fordyce was considered an excellent orator, and his collection of sermons found a ready audience among English clergy and laity alike. It quickly became a staple of many Church and personal libraries.
