 Preaching & Pastoral Resources

Excerpt

2008 Preaching Magazine Book of the Year!

In this informative study, noted preacher Robert Smith offers a lively look at the important task of doctrinal, theologically sound preaching. According to Smith, "Preaching extracts its communicative strength from the reservoirs of doctrine and draws its riches from the wells of its truths. The doctrine behind and below the sermon gives it stability." His illuminating insights on the impact biblical history, linguistics, moral conscience, and the transcendence of God have on doctrine will aid you in delivering messages.
