Sermons by the late Rev. Richard de Courcy

Listeners will hear a carefully transcribed collection of early‑19th‑century sermons, originally published shortly after the preacher’s death and revived in a second edition for modern ears. The minister, known for his evangelical conviction, delivers the gospel with clear articulation of the Church of England’s 39 Articles, marrying the liturgical language of the prayer‑book to the fervor of a passionate pulpit voice.

The accompanying essay on “Pure and Undefiled Religion” expands the sermons’ themes, presenting a systematic defence of orthodox doctrine, the workings of divine grace, and the moral duties that flow from true belief. It offers a window into a period when evangelical preaching sought to revive parish life, making the work valuable for anyone interested in historic Christian thought, pastoral instruction, or the art of earnest homiletic delivery.
