Product Description Excerpt & Outline Reviews 3 hours 2 min. (4 CDs / MP3) It is the greatest sermon ever preached. By anyone. Anywhere. Period. The early Church Fathers quoted more from this sermon than any other part of the Bible. St. Augustine considered it the summary of Christian faith and life. It has inspired countless numbers of people to abandon their wealth and comfort in order to devote themselves to prayer and serving the poor. Without it, the health care and social service systems of Western societies would never have developed. In recent times, it has profoundly shaped the lives of world-historical figures: Leo Tolstoy, Mahatma Ghandi, Blessed Theresa of Calcutta.Yet for all this, how many Christians have read the Sermon on the Mount through in one sitting?
