- Title
A BALSOME FOR BOTH THE HEMISPHERES: TEARS AS MEDICINE IN HERBERT'S TEMPLE AND SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY PREACHING.
- Authors
CHENOVICK, CLARISSA
- Abstract
The article talks about tears as penitential weeping in the book "The Temple" by George Herbert. Topics discussed include Calvinist Protestantism in the seventeenth-century English church denying the efficacy of human actions of penitence as a means of obtaining salvation, and seventeenth-century sermons and devotional guides insisting that genuine repentance will result in penitential weeping.
