The Hope of the Gospel is a collection of sermons dealing with the heart of Jesus' message to the world and exploring the true meaning of the "good news" which he proclaimed. This profound and thought-provoking volume, first published in 1892, covers well-trodden ground such as the Sermon on the Mount, and Christ's baptism in the Jordan, but does not shy away from subjects more often avoided: as for instance the place of animals in the final restoration, their possible immortality, and the ways in which this should affect our treatment of them in our day-to-day lives. Above all, it is a book which reminds us of the unspeakable comfort God offers to mankind, but with the constant accompaniment that--"truth is the first thing, not happiness; and he must make them true."
