subject: Second Presbyterian Church (Philadelphia, Pa.)
subject: Sermons
subject: Tennent, Gilbert, 1703-1764

subject: Bible. Matthew
subject: Presbyterian Church
description: Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening. Tennent wrote this sermon about the Parable of the Net and the Parable of the Pearl. Preaching the Gospel is likened to fishermen using nets to catch fish, with detailed descriptions of the fishermen's tasks and the destinies of the real and allegorical fish. The Parable of the Pearl compares trade and commerce in the physical world with that in the spiritual world, via the search for the Pearl of Great Price. Both presentations employ the numbered lists of "particulars" and close arguments favored by Rev. Tennent.

description: Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764) was an Irish-American Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the leaders of the Great Awakening. Tennent wrote this sermon to be delivered before the holy meal, in warning against sin. He begins by citing Romans 7:13, "Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful." He also cites Jeremiah 44:4, "Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate." From dates noted in the manuscript, it looks like Tennent wrote this sermon in 1745, then delivered it again in 1748.
