About this book

The Poetry of Common Life comes from Carl Safford Patton (1866-1939), the American Congregational minister who held pulpits in Columbus and Los Angeles and taught homiletics at the Chicago Theological Seminary. Patton belonged to the liberal wing of early twentieth-century American Protestantism, and his published addresses look for the meaning of religion inside ordinary working days rather than beyond them. The book belongs to the pulpit literature through which that liberal generation spoke to its congregations. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
