Description

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

Tennent begins this sermon, "On the dignity and perfection of God's law," with reference to Psalms 19:7, "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple." From dates noted on the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote this sermon in 1751, then delivered it again in 1760.
