An Undivided Love: Loving and Living for Christ
("If Charles Spurgeon was the prince of preachers in Victo...)
"If Charles Spurgeon was the prince of preachers in Victorian England, Adolphe Monod was the noblest preacher of the French revivals. With unequalled passion and clarity he brings the unassuming listener not merely to the foot of the cross, but to Jesus himself, as he is clothed in the gospel. Even if you are expecting to be moved by these messages you will be surprised and deeply comforted by their simple and compelling power." - William Edgar "English-speaking Evangelicals are, as a general rule, quite ignorant of the spiritual riches found in other Evangelical cultures. That of the French Calvinist tradition, coming down from Calvin and men like Pierre Viret, is a good case in point. The most vibrant representative of this tradition in the nineteenth century has to be Adolphe Monod. His sermons are food for the soul, but he is hardly known by contemporary North American Evangelicals. May this excellent sampling of his preaching, marked by rich piety and doctrinal clarity, help make his labours for the Lord Christ far better known." - Michael Haykin

"You will read and read...and read, through tears and laughter, while wondering how any man could be so astute, so tender, so frank, and so inspiring in speaking to his Christian sisters-whatever their position in life- of the glorious, fearful, humbling and immensely influential calling of the Christian woman. In these pages, written long ago, you will nonetheless find your mother, your sisters, your friends, and mostly yourself, as you hear the passionate voice of a godly pastor and tender brother calling you to repent, to take heart, to reconsider, to resist, and to persevere in the life of humility and love to which you are called in Christ." - Rebecca Clowney Jones

Excerpt from The Childhood of Jesus: And Other Sermons Jesus to seek out the principles which should preside over Christian education. In every enterprise, the means to be adopted are determined by the end had in view. You can in no way, then, better ascertain how you. Ought to train up your children than by representing to your minds that which they ought to become nor can you in any way better understand what they ought to become than by study Ing the life of the child Jesus.

Jesus Tempted in the Wilderness: Sharing Christ's Victory
("No thoughts could penetrate so powerfully as these words...)
"No thoughts could penetrate so powerfully as these words about Jesus' temptations and ours. Just when you thought Monod could go no deeper, he takes you into the most inner recesses of the soul, adding comfort and hope to his searing realism about our weaknesses. In Constance Walker's translation, the author's voice is heard clearly again, bringing these messages to us in a life-transforming way." - William Edgar, Westminster Theological Seminary

"In 'Saint Paul', we discern the heart and soul behind much of Adolphe Monod's ministry. Yes, he wanted to lead his listeners and especially his own parishioners to the foot of the cross so that they would commit their lives to Christ, but that was just the beginning. He also wanted to raise up a generation of young people who would, through their faith and action, bring renewal to the church. Beyond that, even, his ultimate goal was to see the renewed church transform society and change the world. That was the need in nineteenth century France, and it is still the need today." -from the Translator's Preface

Adolphe-Louis-Frédéric-Théodore Monod
Edit ProfileEducation
Monod was educated at Paris, then he studied theology at Geneva from 1820 to 1824.
Career
Following a personal religious crisis, Monod began to emphasize Reformed theological doctrines that he felt had long been neglected, such as the certainty of damnation for those who did not accept biblical truths in seeking salvation. He served as minister at the Reformed church of Naples (1826) before transferring to Lyons, where he was soon dismissed for his insistence on older, traditional Reformed theology, which was not emphasized by his more liberal contemporaries.
Monod consequently founded the Free Evangelical church at Lyon, in 1833, but he left for Montauban three years later to become professor in a seminary of the French Reformed church. In 1847 he succeeded his brother Frédéric as minister at the church of the Oratoire, Paris. Among his writings are Sermons (1844), Saint Paul (1851), and Explication de l’épître aux Ephésiens (1866; "Explication of the Letter to the Ephesians").
Adolphe-Louis-Frédéric-Théodore Monod died on April 6, 1856, in Paris.
