Editing Phillips Brooks (section)

===Publications===

In 1877, Brooks published a course of lectures upon preaching that he had delivered at the theological school of [[Yale University]], and which are an expression of his own experience. In 1879, the ''[[Bohlen Lectures]] on The Influence of Jesus'' came out. In 1878, he published his first volume of sermons, and from time to time issued other volumes, including ''Sermons Preached in English Churches'' (1883) and ''"The Candle of the Lord" and Other Sermons'' (1895). Brooks was also famous and beloved for his collections of sermons, ''The Purpose and Use of Comfort'', first published in 1878, which includes the title sermon as well as: "The Withheld Completions of Life," "The Conqueror from Edom," "Keeping the Faith," "The Soul's Refuge in God," "The Man with One Talent," "The Food of Man, "The Symbol and the Reality," "Is It I?", and others.

Today, he is probably best known for authoring the [[Christmas carol]] "[[O Little Town of Bethlehem]]". Brooks also introduced [[Helen Keller]] to [[Christianity]] and to [[Anne Sullivan]].
