Scott Gibson and Matthew Kim, both experienced preachers and teachers, have brought together four preaching experts--Bryan Chapell, Kenneth Langley, Abraham Kuruvilla, and Paul Scott Wilson--to present and defend their approaches to homiletics. Reflecting current streams of thought in homiletics, the book offers a robust discussion of theological and hermeneutical approaches to preaching and encourages pastors and ministry students to learn about preaching from other theological traditions. It also includes discussion questions for direct application to one's preaching.

This book provides an exegetical-theological-rhetorical paradigm, "the Christ-oriented approach" (Lk 24:27, 44), that facilitates accuracy, effectiveness, and practicality in preaching the New Testament use of the Old. In providing a practical expository model, and sermon preparation/evaluation principles, this work moves beyond the level of theory into the realm of praxis, and will thus appeal to practitioners as well as to academics.

Christ: The Heart of Preaching; How Not to Lose the Forest for the Trees, presents the real meaning and value of Christ-centered preaching. The book also provides research-based reasons why preachers fail to preach Christ-centered sermons. Finally, the book provides easy-to-follow steps to becoming a Christ-centered preacher and doable and practical action plans for institutions involved in preaching. This book will help anyone become a Christ-centered preacher.

When the Prince of Preachers steps into the open air, the result will change his ministry forever. Using Charles Spurgeon's own words, as well as contemporary accounts, E. G. Romine digs deep into the legendary pastor's unexamined legacy of open-air preaching. In The Booming Baritone Bell of England, Romine argues that Spurgeon's open-air preaching was a profound influence not only on his audience, but on Spurgeon himself. A thorough and thoughtful exploration of a neglected area of Spurgeon's ministry, Romine's exhaustively-researched book will appeal to casual readers and scholars alike.
