The chronologically arranged Writings Subseries primarily consists of sermons and sermon outlines, the bulk of which appear to be outlines which Stirewalt used as references while delivering the sermons. Most of the sermons are dated and the location where each was written, primarily New Market, Va., is given. The outlines are very detailed, providing titles, and references to biblical texts cited by the sermon or used as evidence to support the theme of the sermon. Three folders of undated sermons are filed at the end of this subseries.
