Author: Grenville Kleiser

Grenville Kleiser compiled The World's Greatest Sermons (10 volumes), which is like a Preacher's Hall of Fame. The sermons range from 4th century to the 20th century, from Italy, Germany, Holland, France, Great Britain and the United States. A preacher from virtually ever denomination was chosen.

115 of the best preachers to ever live are represented in this work, spanning close to 2,500 pages and 4 megabytes of text (when uncompressed). Some of the preachers include

• Alexander Maclaren
• John Wesley
• John Calvin
• Charles Spurgeon
• James Stalker
• F.W. Farrar
• John Broadus
• William Robertson Nicoll
• Martin Luther
• Thomas De Witt Talmage
• George Whitfield
• Jonathan Edwards
• and many more (see below)

Included with each sermon is a short biography of the preacher, which is perfect for identifying the time period and author background. Sermons were chosen on the basis of literary, rhetorical, practical, and spiritual worthiness.

e-Sword Edition
The print edition is organized by the preacher's birth year. The e-Sword edition is first arranged canonically (Genesis - Revelation, and also by Apostle's Creed), but the organizational structure retains the preacher's name. In my opinion, this provides easier reference, although I do recognize this module could have been assembled in a variety of ways. Some sermons don't have an overriding Scripture passage or are based on the Apostle's Creed, which made organizing this module more of a challenge.
