( About the Book In Christianity, a sermon is an address ...)
About the Book In Christianity, a sermon is an address delivered to an assembly of Christians, typically containing theological or moral lesson. Although often called a homily, the original distinction between a sermon and a homily was that a sermon was delivered by a clergyman, while a homily was read by a layman. In the 20th century the sermons were likely to be longer, more structured, and hold greater theological content. Sermon types include: Biographical, Evangelistic sermons, Expository preaching, Historical sermons, Hortatory sermons, Liturgical sermons, Narrative sermons, Redemptive-Historical Preaching, and Topical sermons. Also in this Book The history of Christianity concerns the Christian religion, with its various denominations, from the life of Jesus Christ in the 1st century to the present. Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christianity spread to all of Europe in the Middle Ages, and since the Renaissance, has expanded throughout the world and become the world's largest religion (with over 2 billion faithful). At first persecuted, but later embraced by the Roman Empire, the East-West Schism, or Great Schism of 1054, separated the Church into Western (Latin) and Eastern (Greek) branches, i.e., Western Catholicism (based on Rome) and Eastern Orthodoxy (based on Constantinople). The rise of Islam resulted in a number of Crusades fought by Christian Armies from Europe, whose aim was to re-capture and hold Jerusalem. In 1453, Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire, and Christianity was almost completely removed from the territory that now comprises Turkey. The three most important traditions that emerged from the Protestant Reformation (1521-1610) were the Lutheran, Reformed (Calvinist, Presbyterian, etc.), and Anglican traditions.

Barrows was born in Medina Township, Michigan on July 11, 1847, to John Manning and Catherine Moore Barrows. Both parents were deeply religious and suffered for their anti-slavery sentiments.
At sixteen he entered Olivet College, a newly founded, incomplete, but stimulating institution. After graduating from college he entered Yale Divinity School, where he remained for a year, and in 1868 he entered Union Theological Seminary. In 1873 he entered Andover Seminary, but left before graduating.
he next year he was forced by ill health to give up study, and for something like three years he was a pastor in Kansas. He there gave evidence of his subsequent abilities as a preacher and was called to a temporary pastorate at Springfield, Illinois. In 1875 he became pastor of a Congregational church at Lawrence, Massachussets His success in that field led to his becoming pastor of the important First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, a position which he held from 1881 to 1896. During this long pastorate he showed himself an effective preacher, an enemy of religious intolerance, and a pioneer in various undertakings looking toward civic and religious advance.
When Chicago organized the World's Columbian Exposition, he became chairman of its Committee on Religious Congresses. It was under the auspices of this committee that the Parliament of Religions was held. Its purpose was to bring together in conference representatives of all the historic religions for the expression of their similarities and differences, as well as for possible influence upon social, economic, and international life. Much of the immediate success of this remarkable gathering, attended by 150, 000 persons, was due to Barrows. Seen in retrospect the World's Parliament of Religions appears less resultful than was foretold. But as an adventure in religious tolerance and an incentive to world brotherhood it was of no small significance. The missionary interests of the time had hardly begun to give justice to non-Christian religions and especially among the more orthodox religious leaders the proposal to bring upon one platform representatives of the great religions of the world aroused anxiety, even suspicion. But the Parliament attracted widespread attention, and Barrows became an outstanding representative of the new interest in the ethnic religions. Whatever else the Parliament may have accomplished, it developed respect for non-Christian religions on the part of intelligent religious persons.
Partly as a result of this new interest, Barrows induced Mrs. Caroline E. Haskell not only to present to the University of Chicago a sum to be used in erecting a building for the study of Oriental history and religion, but also to endow in the University of Chicago the Haskell Lectures of Comparative Religion and the Barrows Lectureship on the relations of Christianity and other religions. The first of these two foundations provided for lectures in the institution itself. The second provided for lectures to be given in India. Barrows was the first lecturer on both of these foundations, giving seven Haskell series, 1895-1901.
In 1896 he resigned his pastorate in Chicago and lectured, not only in India but in Japan. His reception was cordial. He went not as a missionary but as a sympathetic expounder of Christianity. His lectures as published do not give the impression of technical scholarship, but are colored by an intelligent interest in all religious faiths.
Returning after fifteen months in the Orient, he became president of Oberlin College on November 29, 1898. This institution had long stood for evangelical Christianity and had been a strong influence in the religious life of the Middle West. Barrows brought to his new position the same administrative imagination he had shown in other relations, and immediately undertook the task of giving Oberlin a much wider influence and more complete educational resources. During his brief administration the college added $600, 000 to its endowment, erected several new buildings, and gained new prominence in the educational world. His work was brought to an untimely close by his death from pneumonia, after a brief illness, on June 3, 1902.
He was the author of The World's Parliament of Religions (1893); Henry Ward Beecher, the Shakespeare of the Pulpit (1893); Christianity, the World Religion (1897); A World Pilgrimage (1897); Spiritual Forces in American History (1889); The Christian Conquest of Asia (1899).
