Print on Demand. 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 â " accusation, pity, idealism, edification, and cheer â " 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Riassunto

Excerpt from The Message and the Man: Some Essentials of Effective Preaching

Now, we are of those who, while trying to look facts in the face, endeavour, also, not to see double and to keep heart of hope. It is easy to make too much of statistics, and very easy, in a moment of depression, to come to conclusions concerning the state of the Church, and the life of the world, which a day of brighter and truer mood will greatly modify. There is no cause for either panic or pessimism, but there is cause for the asking of questions as to reasons for the condition of things, for the making of suggestions for their improvement.
