An Introduction to Homiletics

The posture of the book is evangelical -- that without apology. The role of the sovereign God is indicated at the very outset in the discussion on the call to preach. The central place of Scripture is assumed throughout, as is personal religious experience. An attempt is also made to bring together the old and the new. Classical homiletics and rhetoric still claim their ancient hold on God's men, and a changing world, with new communication perspectives, demands our careful attention. - Preface.
