Biblical Preaching

Customer Rating :

Haddon Robinson's Biblical Preaching has become a modern classic on the preparation and delivery of expository sermons. Much has changed, however, in twenty years and Robinson has undertaken the task of updating his work to benefit a new generation of preachers who will speak to a markedly different world. While retaining the original outline of the book and Robinson's ten-stage process of sermon development, this new edition offers significant improvements. Many of the illustrations & arguments have been updated, each chapter is enhanced with suggestions for further study, and the discussions of narrative and inductive preaching have been expanded. One of the best books on homiletics in print today.

"It is biblical in its premise, practical in its purpose, and motivational in its power. . . . A book which every preacher should read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest." - Stephen F. Olford

"Robinson's famous question 'What's the Big Idea?' has become the fundamental issue for thousands of preachers in their effort to understand the primary intention of a given text for contemporary audiences. Exercises at the end of each chapter enhance the practicality of the book. Written in 1980, the book was really ahead of its time. Today it serves as an essential primer on preaching the Word of God faithfully and powerfully in these times." - Preaching.org

"Robinson's book is an excellent primer, the one I recommend and use. The second edition is even better than the first. Robinson has thought himself clear on the mysterious process of birthing a sermon. Novices can cut their eye teeth on this book, and seasoned preachers will see in black and white what they have done intuitively for years. The ten methodical stages with their examples and exercises make the art of preaching accessible. . . . If you've read the first edition, read the second. Some light bulbs may turn on for you. If you haven't read the first, jump straight to the second, and see why more than 200,000 copies of this book are in print." - Jeffrey Arthurs, Journal of the Evangelical Homiletics Society
