Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening.

This manuscript contains two sermons by Tennent. The first sermon, about exaltation, begins by citing Philippians 2:9-11 and Hebrews 2:9. The second sermon, about the resurrection of Christ, begins by citing Mark 16:9, Matthew 28:6, and 1 Corinthians 15.

From dates noted in the manuscript, it appears Tennent wrote these sermons in 1744, then repeated one or both in 1746 or 1747, 1748, 1749, 1755, and 1759.

De exaltatione (on the exaltation, or raising up of Christi) De resurectione Christi), a pair of sermons. Citations from Philippians and Hebrews lay the ground for discussion of the raising up of Christ in dignity and power. Describes the four degrees or levels of exaltation: Christ's rising from the dead; his ascent to heaven as "highly exalted;" sitting at the right hand of God; and the anticipated next step, the return to earth for the Last Judgment. How worshippers should live their daily lives with Christ as example.

The second sermon discusses Christ's resurrection from Bible evidence and by the impact it can have on ordinary lives as both a warning to the unconverted and in strengthening faith and hope in believers.
