Donne at Sermons


A Christian Existential World

By Gale H. Carrithers, Jr.

Published by State University of New York Press, Albany, 1972. 1st edition. Includes dust jacket. Hardback 8vo cloth bound book, with illustrated binding to front cover matching dust jacket. 319 pages in total. 

In "Donne at Sermons: A Christian Existential World," Gale Carrithers Jr. explores the theocentric existentialism that underlies Donne's sermons. The book examines the sermons' content and structure, considering how they fit within the genre of sermon and their literary or artistic success. Carrithers places the sermons in their actual church setting, utilizing concepts like sound in space to analyze the preacher's role. He emphasizes the immediacy Donne could achieve through his participation as a preacher, not just as a speaker but as a character in the discourse.
