This volume presents a selection of sermons by Jean-Baptiste Massillon (1663-1742), a renowned French Catholic preacher and Bishop of Clermont. Celebrated for his eloquence and profound insights into human nature, Massillon's sermons offer a compelling glimpse into the religious and moral landscape of 18th-century France.

The sermons cover a range of topics, addressing themes of faith, repentance, virtue, and the duties of Christian life. Massillon's oratory, characterized by its clarity, emotional depth, and psychological acuity, captivated audiences and earned him a prominent place in the history of French religious thought. This collection provides valuable insights into the spiritual and intellectual currents of the Enlightenment era.
