Selected Sermons (Foreword by Jared C. Wilson‪)‬

The Crossway Short Classics Series Presents Rare Sermons from Black Puritan Minister Lemuel Haynes
Born in 1753, Lemuel Haynes was an indentured servant who grew to become a dynamic Reformed preacher. Nicknamed "The Black Puritan," he is credited as being the first African-American ordained for ministry in the United States. This addition to the Crossway Short Classics series presents some of Haynes's important yet little-known work.
Selected Sermons features 4 rarely published sermons, along with a biography of Haynes. In "Universal Salvation," he preaches on the reality of hell and the character of Satan. "A Sermon on John 3:3" explores Jesus's command to be born again. "The Character and Work of a Spiritual Watchman Described" details qualifications for gospel ministers, and in "Liberty Further Extended," he presents a biblical argument against slavery and oppression. This collection of Haynes's sermons offers readers robust spiritual insight and a closer look at an extraordinary figure in church history.
