About the Author:
John Albert Broadus (1827–1895) was an American Baptist pastor and professor at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, one of the most famous preachers of his day. Charles Spurgeon deemed Broadus the “greatest of living preachers.”[1] Church historian Albert Henry Newman later said “perhaps the greatest man the Baptists have produced.” His Works Include: On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons (1870) Lectures on the History of Preaching (1876, revised, 1896) Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew (1886) Sermons and Addresses (1886) Jesus of Nazareth (1890) Memoir of James Petigru Boyce (1893) Harmony of the Gospels (1893) Broadus' collected works, Sermons and Addresses, were published in 1886 and are available for reading on books.google.
Review:
"If there was a 'model preacher' in the 19th century, it was surely John A. Broadus of Southern Baptist Seminary. If there is a teacher of preaching in the 20th century qualified to revise Broadus' "On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons, "it is Vernon L. Stanfield of New Orleans Baptist Seminary. Harper and Row has shown wisdom in making this fourth edition of a classic available again. It has been number one in the field for over a century."--Dale Moody, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Fully revised edition of the classic guide to the art of homiletics incorporates recent helpful developments in the field. CHAPTER 5 The Text 1. MEANING OF THE TERM The word "text "is derived from the Latin "texere "("to weave"), which figuratively came to signify to put together, to construct, and hence to compose, to express thought in continuous speech or writing. The noun "textus "thus denotes the product of weaving, the web, the fabric, and so in literary usage the fabric of one's thinking, continuous composition. The practice arose of reading the continuous narrative or discussion of some author and adding comments, chiefly explanatory, or of taking the author's own writing and making notes at the sides or bottom of the page. Thus the author's own work came to be called the "text," as distinguished from the fragmentary notes and comments of the editor or speaker. This use of the word still survives, as when we speak of the text of ancient authors or others, meaning their own original composition; and textual criticism is the science of determining what was their exact language. Early preaching was of the nature of running commentary on the connected train of thought, or text, of Scripture, which was so named to distinguish it from the preacher's comment or exposition. As the practice grew of lengthening the comments into an organized speech and of shortening the passage of Scripture used, text has come to mean the portion of Scripture chosen as the suggestion or foundation for a sermon. 2. USE OF THE TEXT The history of the word text, like that of homiletics, points back to the fact, which is also well-known otherwise, that preaching was originally expository. The early Christian preachers commonly spoke on passages of considerable length, and their sermons were largely exposition.This practice was modified, and the use of a short text or a brief passage became common. In the early twentieth century, it was not uncommon to have a sermon without a text. At the present time, the expository sermon is gaining in popularity. In this whole matter of using texts, the law is value, not custom. Let the preacher decide. The important thing is that the sermon must be Christian in content and spirit and purpose. One may take a text and still preach a sermon that misses the mark of being Christian; on the other hand, a sermon without a text and without formal Scripture reference may be thoroughly Christian. And merely to follow a cult of novelty or to copy some admired rebel against convention is quite as bad as following tradition. Let the preacher have a reason for what he does. Sometimes he may omit a text because no suitable text can be found for what he wants to say. But this should rarely occur, for as Dr. Coffin suggests, if within the ample range of the biblical literature a preacher cannot find a text for what he wishes to say, the chances are that he is deviating from the historic faith of which he is a teacher. Occasionally he may see value in preaching without a text for the sake of variety. Or again he may deal with a number of passages, no one of which is suitable for a central text. But as a general rule, the objectives of the sermon are better realized with a well-chosen text. 3. RULES FOR THE SELECTION OF A TEXT The proper selection of a text is a matter of major importance. The minister, or student for the ministry, should keep a notebook for lists of texts. In reading the Scriptures and books of theology, in reading collections of sermons,biographies, in casual reflection, and in the preparation of other sermons, passages will be constantly appearing upon which the preacher could base a sermon. These should be recorded at once. The preacher should discipline himself to do so until it becomes a habit. And he should by all means pu Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780060611125
