This document reveals the full text of a series of addresses which Chapman gave at numerous points in his public ministry.

The addresses cover a range of themes including the sovereignty of God, the righteousness of God manifested in the atonement, the theme of the kingdom of God in the preaching ministry of Jesus and Paul, and the love of God in creation and redemption. These would become significant themes in Chapman’s later publications.
