“These sermons were preached in the Church of the Holy Communion, Philadelphia, to a congregation consisting in part of University and college students. In preaching it was impossible to disassociate from my mind the struggles through which many of these young people were passing and the battles which I was asked to help them fight during the week.

“The endeavor throughout is to set forth Christ Jesus as the Savior of the world. I have attempted to compare and contrast the Christ with those with whom He came into contact. The sermons thus presented are outlines rather than elaborations; earnest, practical discourses with a definite object in view rather than rhetorical, literary productions with an aesthetic congregation in mind. – Rev. Ernst Pfatteicher

Ernst Philip Pfatteicher (1874-1943) studied at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa, the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, the University of Erlangen, the University of Pennsylvania (D.D.) and Muhlenberg College (J.D.). He assisted Theodore Schmauk from 1898-1902, and served pastorates in Norristown, Philadelphia, and Reading. Dr. Pfatteicher was elected president of the Philadelphia Ministerium, Director of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, and member of the National Lutheran Council. He is the author of Solomon: King David’s Earth Born Son and Think on These Things. [prabook com]
