Summary:

"Old Wine and New: Occasional Discourses" by Joseph Cross is a collection of theological discourses written in the late 19th century. This volume encompasses a variety of sermons delivered over the author's extensive ministry, reflecting on key Christian themes such as hope, rest, and redemption. The work serves as both a retrospective of Cross's thinking and an invitation to readers to engage deeply with fundamental Christian truths. The opening of the book sets the stage for the author's exploration of spiritual themes, beginning with the discourse titled "Filial Hope." Cross draws parallels between the thoughts of ancient philosophers on the uncertainties of life after death and the hope offered through Christ's resurrection. He emphasizes the assurance believers have in their status as children of God and the promise of eternal life, suggesting that true understanding of our future awaits the moment Christ returns. By weaving personal reflection with scriptural interpretation, Cross lays a foundation for each subsequent discourse, aiming to provide spiritual illumination and encouragement for his readers to embrace their faith amidst uncertainties.
