David Swing: Poet Preacher is a biographical work written by Joseph Fort Newton in 1908. The book focuses on the life and career of David Swing, an influential American preacher and poet who lived in the 19th century. Swing was known for his progressive views on religion and his ability to connect with his congregation through his poetic sermons. The book begins by providing a detailed account of Swing’s childhood and early years, including his upbringing in rural Ohio and his education at the University of Cincinnati. Newton then goes on to explore Swing’s career as a preacher, including his time at the Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago, where he gained national recognition for his sermons. Throughout the book, Newton highlights Swing’s unique approach to preaching, which combined traditional Christian teachings with a more modern and liberal perspective. He also discusses Swing’s involvement in various social and political issues of his time, including the Civil War and the fight for women’s suffrage. Overall, David Swing: Poet Preacher provides readers with an in-depth look at the life and legacy of one of America’s most influential preachers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American religion and the evolution of religious thought in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
