The Nathan Strong Page

Welcome to The Willison Center's collection of sermons by Nathan Strong, D.D. (b. 1748- d. 1816)

Strong graduated Yale in 1769, and received his Doctorate at Princeton, 1801. He served as a chaplain in the Revolutionary Army. Strong's teachings are heavily laden with the Biblical Spirituality of the American Revolution times.

In Volume 1, the word "heart" is used 558 times in regard to ones' spiritual condition, its diagnosis and cure from a fatal eternal illness.

In Volume 2, the word "heart" appears 435 times.

If you only have limited time for reading, we recommend Volume 1, Sermon 1. "On The Goodness Of GOD ", and Volume 2,Sermon 15. " On Shutting The Kingdom Of Heaven Against Men." This is especially important for those who now hold a Public or Government position. Does evangelical faith have a Public role? According to Dr. Strong, it is crucial for Just Government, and the Eternal Well-Being of the citizenry!!!
