Synopsis
This book explores the art of effective preaching and the complex, multifaceted nature of preachers themselves. Drawing on historical and theological perspectives, the author argues that preaching is more than mere delivery of facts but a highly complex intellectual, moral, and spiritual act in which the preacher's character plays a critical role. The book first examines the essential qualities of an effective preacher: natural aptitude, spiritual gifts, and a sense of divine calling. It then discusses the substance of the message, emphasizing its divine origin and the wide range of human emotions – accusation, pity, idealism, edification, and cheer – that it evokes. Finally, the book addresses the delivery and form of the message, arguing for attractiveness, transparency, and a persuasive appeal. Throughout, the author provides insightful reflections on the history and significance of preaching, offering a compelling examination of its enduring power to move and inspire.
