The reigns of the five Tudor monarchs were the context of vast changes in the nature of religion and government in England. This study explores the way in which these changes were reflected in sermons preached before the princes. Five preachers have been selected, one from each reign. All the sermons were delivered before the reigning monarch in English, and were printed and published shortly afterwards. The Introduction gives a general overview of the thesis. The subject matter of Chapter 1 is concerned with the funeral oration at the obsequies of Henry VII. Bishop John Fisher focuses his attention on the death of Henry, his contrition for his sins, and his reliance on God, through Holy Church, for the assurance of forgiveness. Chapter II examines a Good Friday sermon preached at Greenwich Palace before Henry VIII and Queen Anne Boleyn in 1536 by the King's confessor, John Longland. Longland promotes the beliefs and practises of Holy Church notwithstanding Henry's rejection of papal authority. In Chapter III, Hugh Latimer, the 'Prophet to the English,' preached a series of sermons before Edward VI in the Preaching Place at Whitehall during Lent 1549. Latimer's aim is to show Edward the path to true kingship and to promote justice in the realm. The sermons of Thomas Watson, Dean of Lincoln, before Queen Mary at Greenwich in Lent 1554 are the subject of Chapter IV. Watson supported the Queen in her efforts to return England to the true faith. Chapter V analyses the sermon John Whitgift, Dean of Lincoln, preached before Elizabeth I at Greenwich in Lent 1574. Whitgift refuted Catholic beliefs but reserved his greatest attacks for the radical Protestants.

Jonathan Edwards is rightly titled America's first great theologian and philosopher, yet in terms of his historical influence he is foremost a preacher. This thesis links Edwards' philosophy to his preaching passion by demonstrating how his desire to establish a communication theory brought cohesion to his far-reaching philosophical interests. More specifically, this study shows how Edwards' speculative analysis on the composition of the human soul is motivated by his desire to configure a preaching strategy compatible with the soul's content and conduct. Jonathan Edwards' philosophy and its relation to his sermon writing is introduced in the first two chapters. The third chapter presents Edwards' conception of the human soul as an arrangement of mental powers which he calls "principles." Although the converted soul owns both natural and supernatural principles, Edwards' evangelistic preaching strategically targets the natural principles operating unaccompanied in the sinner. Focusing on Edwards' preaching to the unconverted, the next four chapters are devoted to an examination of the four natural principles: human reason; simple imagination; common affection and natural conscience. Each natural principle is placed within Edwards' communication theory while sermon extracts are called in to demonstrate the principle's function in Edwards' awakening preaching. The significance of this study is enhanced by the introduction of 100 unpublished sermons which are cited and used as background reference. These unpublished sermon portions offer a rare glimpse into Edwards' homiletic genius and in many cases appear in this study for the first time in print.
