Klappentext zu „Whom Wind and Waves Obey “
Whom Wind & Waves Obey introduces English-speaking readers to one of the major literary productions of post-Reformation Iceland - the sermons of Jón Vídalín, Lutheran bishop in Iceland from 1698 to 1720, and the greatest of Icelandic preachers. The introduction describes the history of Icelandic Christianity from the first settlement of the country up to the bishop's time, and is followed by translations of 23 sermons written by the bishop for home devotional reading. His sermons are literary gems, and were vital formative influences on the Christian life of his people during the disaster-ridden eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Pressezitat
"This book makes available for the first time one of the two classics which were found in virtually every eighteenth and nineteenth century Icelandic home. It does so with grace and clarity. It would be a great service to make this classic more widely accessible" (Gordon Lathrop, Schieren Professor of Practical Theology, Lutheran Theological Seminary)Kommentar zu "Whom Wind and Waves Obey"
