The Ministry We Need: Three Inaugural Discourses is a book written by Samuel Hanson Cox and first published in 1835. The book contains three speeches that Cox delivered as inaugural addresses at the installation of pastors in New York City. The speeches address the need for a more spiritual and dedicated ministry, one that is focused on the true purpose of the church and not on worldly concerns. Cox argues that the church must return to its original mission of spreading the gospel and promoting the spiritual well-being of its members. He also discusses the importance of education and the need for ministers to be well-educated in order to effectively serve their congregations. The Ministry We Need is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers valuable insights into the role of the ministry in the church and the importance of spiritual dedication and education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
