The World’s Great Sermons, compiled by Grenville Kleiser with assistance from contemporary preachers and theologians and published in ten volumes by Funk & Wagnalls Company in 1908, presents a curated selection of influential sermons from various periods of Christian history. The collection outlines the work of major preachers, their theological concerns, and the rhetorical approaches that shaped their public influence. It includes an introduction by Lewis O. Brastow, who situates the sermons within the study of practical theology and the development of homiletics. Across the volumes, the series highlights the diversity of doctrinal emphasis, historical context, and stylistic method found in prominent sermon literature, offering a broad survey of religious thought as expressed through public preaching. These volumes came from a local church's library and have "pasted in" pockets for checking out.
