Introduction to Preaching : Scripture, Theology, and Sermon Preparation Hardback
by Leah D., Lexington Theological Sem Schade, Jerry L. Sumney, Emily Askew
Hardback
Description
Coauthored by a homiletician, a theologian, and a biblical scholar, this book is a preaching primer that provides tools for crafting effective, engaging, and inspiring sermons.
Using a unique workbook-style format, Introduction to Preaching equips seminarians and preachers to use appropriate theological claims informed by solid biblical interpretation while providing several sample sermons from the authors.
Readers will learn how to use a three-part scheme—the Central Question, the Central Claim, and the Central Purpose—to provide the drive, direction, and destination for the sermon.
Offering guidelines for using appropriate sermon forms, imagery, metaphors, and creativity, tougher with advice on how to deliver contextually relevant sermons using our bodies, presence, and voice make this a staple for both new and experienced preachers.
Introduction to Preaching includes a chapter on exploring the space of preaching, including onsite and online sermons.
In addition, it features charts and worksheets to help organize the sermon-writing process, as well as exercises for the preacher’s voice and body and tips for advice for guest preachers and supply preachers.
A glossary of terms and an extensive bibliography make this a handy reference guide for students and all preachers.
