"Twenty-four Discourses" by Nathan Perkins is a compilation of sermons intended for a church congregation in Connecticut, probably in the late 1700s. The book is about explaining key ideas, responsibilities, and customs of Christianity, stressing the importance of things like baptism. The author's goal is to guide Christians in their beliefs and actions, promoting a strong devotion to their faith. It starts with a dedication to Perkins' church members, showing his dedication to helping them grow spiritually and defend the important ideas of Christianity. He talks about how important it is to understand what it means to be separated from Christ and how much people need God's help and guidance in order to be saved, which acts as a introduction for future philosophical thoughts.
